Day 3 and an overcast start to the day. Sun was in but my prickly heat was out! So - off to chemists to find that my preferred cure is now only available in liquid form because it's for children! So -I'm knocking back something that has that sweet raspberry taste that reminds me of being little.
I've spent the day wandering the west coast in the car - and spending millions of dollars in my head on property and jewellery. However, I'm feeling pretty virtuous because....
  1. I didn't buy anything
  2. I had a salmon salad for lunch and left half the bread
  3. I am wearing trousers that I haven't been able to get into for 2 or 3 years!
None of the above are likely to last the holiday - but they feel good today - celebrate the small stuff, eh?
Had my first Bajan lemonade today - with a twist - ginger added. Lush! Now drinking my first Banks beer of the holiday and trying to cool off.
Hendy is calling in to see me later. We had a chat on the phone andhe says business is slow. He's a batik artist and relies a lot on the tourist trade and, of course, the island is so quiet at the moment. I went down to St. Lawrence Gap last night ('Cruisin' the Gap') and it was dead! I had decided to try a restaurant I've never been to before but it was closed...so found another I've never tried (Harlequin). Lovely squash soup and a seafood crostini. Couldn't resist Bajan Lime Pie - I would have resisted if I'd seen it before ordering; it was Kermit green. Tasted ok but looked radio active! Not sure where I'll eat tonight - maybe just pop downstairs to Bistro Monet - although should save that for Friday because they have a steel pan band on. I'm not that into steel pan but I'll have to hear it anyway so may as well be there! I'm the only guest in the apartments until weekend - so I am rattling around here on my own. Just me and the security man Tyrone.
Right - need a shower and a plan for the evening. Ta ra for now.

Chat up of the Day

None! Losing my touch! I'm obviously a South Coast Gal not a West Coast one!
