A quick breakfast of toast and juice. Our plans to head down town fade away as the sun bursts through and the kids decide that it's a good day for sunbathing. So everyone decides to relax. This is the first time Henry and I haven't gone for one of our long walks.
Mum settles with he book while Henry and I alternate between our iPads, listening to music and playing on the DS (well I play on the DS really).
Before we know it it's lunch time and we're feeling hungry. Remember that we haves no food in the Hut because the shops were closed for Independence Day and aren't open on Sundays. But we've got tatties so I make wedges - with Bajan seasoning of course. Ruth comes up with a lovely salad nicoise and voila we have a wonderful meal. I question why we didn't come up with this last night when Henry suggested rice and gravy for dinner? The excuse is that everyone was tired but I think sun and drink had a lot to do with it.
Everyone is full (except Malcolm who decides that soaking up the sun is more important than eating)....so it's back to our pre-lunch activities (or lack of).
Tonight we're heading to 1st Street for a night of entertainment and food. There goes those expanding waistlines, but that's why God invented elasticated waists and Lycra.
We're missing our Jax but have started the search for villas so that we can come back in August.
Keisha has to make 2 taxi trips as there are now 5 of us. It's karaoke night at Raggamuffin's and the trannies are strutting their stuff but first it's Surfside for aperitifs. Can you believe it we sit next to two Geordie couples (the women are Sunderland supporters - need i say more?) They're staying at Discovery Bay. Nice people, despite the two Mackems. Malcolm hits it off with them. Mmmmm!!! But one of this is the millionaire owner of Glendale Transport!
This was the site of last week's rum fiasco so I steer well clear and have wine instead. Mum however pipes up "rum punch for me". Maybe the old girl is showing her daughter how it's done! But we encourage her to only have the one.
Next we head to Angry Annie's for dinner. Oh dear that was a mistake. It was very poor. A first for Barbados but then again it's owned and run by a Brummie couple. We should have known better. Malcolm had to send his steak back. Mum also had a banana daiquiri - she's clearly on a roll so I need to keep an eye on her.
The karaoke and dancing in the street more than make up for the disappointing food. We watch in amazement as a very old woman steps up to sing "I just wanna make love to you". She changes the words but I cannot repeat them in this blog! I was so shocked it took me a few minutes to collect my thoughts well enough to whip out my phone to video it. The link is on my FB page - check it out. Not for the faint hearted!
We had a great time and before we know it Keisha is picking us up and it's time to go back to the Hut.
A couple of night caps and it's off to bed. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
