The great food and wine … well Shaun has been sick as a dog all day. He has spent his time asleep in bed, asleep on the sofa on the deck, asleep in the chairs by the ocean, asleep in a chair by the pool. He has now announced he is trying to stay awake until 8pm (5pm your time) before heading back to bed.

I have been fine ….

A day on the sun lounger for me – and also playing with this blog – I hope you like the new format! There was a bit of panic at 2.30 when I suddenly realized that the supermarket shuts at 3 on a Sunday. I made the quick dash to the Super U, not that I think Shaun will be having anything –

We had planned to head to the Black River Gorges for a hike tomorrow, but I don’t think that’s wise. I think another day at the villa, and perhaps we can go for walk along to beach to find the Martello Tower museum.
You asked about 4 legged creatures – we have dogs (including a dog this evening on a paddle board with its owner), goats, a cat who strolls through the garden each evening and a lizard who lives around the pool.
The birds are funny – a pair of miner birds and some green parrots who fly in and around the palm trees.
Far more prevalent are the bitey insects! We have some defences, the DEET spray, the citronella sticks, an electric FlyHunter but still they keep biting!
