On the last day of my holiday, I got the ferry at 1pm so had a few hours in the morning to kill. Quarr Abbey was near the ferry terminal. I am not a fan of monks but the area was nice. They have a lot of pigs, a nice walk in the woods and a tea rooms.

The ferry on the way back was delayed a little. We left a few minutes early to try to beat a destroyer across the channel. We failed. The channel between the island and mainland is actually controlled by the Navy so if a destroyer comes along, the channel shuts until it is finished.
On Wednesday I was supposed to get a new fridge. My landlord ordered the wrong one. I finally got one today, only to be informed that the fridge was probably fine (once they had installed the new one and trashed the old). The issue is the electrics. Which are dodgy and built into the wall. Woohoo! So my fridge is plugged in across the kitchen and I am left praying it doesn't spark and burn the place down. I love renting. :(
