Day 13 - Monday 21st June 2004

As I stood by the window curtain in our bungalow this morning, Debs decided it would be amusing to simultaneously whisk back the curtain and pull down my boxers, thus exposing my manhood to any poor sod that happened to be walking by. Luckily there were none, but soon after breakfast I had my revenge.

We were bobbling around in a crowded swimming pool, surrounded by lilos and screaming German children, their parents looking on from the dry haven of their sun loungers. Before she had a chance to defend herself, Debs found her bikini top undone and the straps over her shoulders, exposing her pale breasts to anyone who was looking (there was one guy with a video camera which was amusing). Fortunately for Debs, she managed to cover herself up in a splitsecond, although she had no defence when I pulled her bikini bottoms partially down as she exited the pool.

I'd finished my 927 page Tom Clancy espionage thriller by mid-morning, so come early afternoon after a newspaper and a bite to eat, I was bored. I finally beat Debs at cards for which she has to buy me dinner at a restaurant of my choice upon return to England. We also ventured into the sea, which is not something I often do considering my swimming ability. Ironically, Debs was scared of the seaweed and whatever nasty fish might have been lurking in its dark camouflage, whereas I had no qualms about going in up to my chest. As we splashed about in the shallows on our way back to the shore, we could see lots of tiny fish swimming about by our feet, something that Debs was a little uncomfortable with, so I put an understanding branch of seaweed on her shoulder. She's so lucky to have me.

Tonight was also England's final group match in Euro 2004 so we had an early dinner and ambled down into Thassos town for a spot of tack shopping before the match. Finding nothing suitable for anyone at all, even the impending arrival of the new Hunter (a BB gun was thought a tad inappropriate), we strolled off to Cheers Bar, grabbed our seats and cheered England to a 4-2 win. Splendid.
