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....
- I didn't buy anything
- I had a salmon salad for lunch and left half the bread
- I am wearing trousers that I haven't been able to get into for 2 or 3 years!
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.
