Woke up around 730am, took a shower and had breakfast. Finished the rest of the bread and cheese spread.
Told the lady at the counter that we were checking out and left my bag under the staircase which is where people keep their backpacks at their own risk.

We got back to J's place around 7pm. Took a shower and checked email. Afterwards, J had a sudoku book which I had a look at. Believe it or not today the 29th Aug is the first time I have attempted sudoku. I have seen my colleagues playing it by I have never checked it out and I got 2 of them which J said were quite tough, easily. Think I can get hooked on this.
