fresh fruiteasy parkingwater pressurecarpet stains
The breakfast held simple joys. Fresh fruit started my day. The location allowed me to walk to the pier without trouble. I felt that gentle breeze a short distance from the sea. Parking was easy and right outside.
The water pressure in the shower lacked might. This diminished the pleasure after a long day. I also noticed small stains on the carpet. I feel they needs attention.
