Early to Bed means Early to Rise

 I've arrived on the Island safe and well after a fab flight. Watched several films (Les Mis was good, then one with Cameron Diaz helping Colin Firth pull off an art theft - might have been called 'Gambit' but I'm not wasting brain capacity on remembering what was a pretty pants film!). However, it was 'Untouchable' - a French film with subtitles - that was the highlight - and based on a true story.

Anyway, arrived just after a heavy rain shower - it had been fine all day! - drove from airport to 'BK Towers' and Trevor was waiting to get me checked  in. He'd been out to get me some wine to welcome me - and had a fall on the slippery pavement.

I whizzed out to the supermarket for essentials - tonic for my gin, stuff like that - but was really tired  so didn't linger. Managed to stay up to 9.30pm then gave in to sleep  -hence I'm awake at 5.30 am and listening to the radio.

It looks cloudy but fine so far. I'm contemplating putting trainers on (along with clothing!) and walking along the boardwalk for a bit - to watch the day begin.
 I've laid out my beach kit in hope of clear skies - in the meantime I'm listening to a local reggae station....so can already offer an appropriate tune....

Tune of the Day


'A sunny day, with hopes up to the sky,  a kiss and no goodbye,  That's all I want from you '

  1. Glad it's going well so far.

    I was up early and in the swimming pool at 6:30, then spent the morning doing a massive pile of ironing and blitzing the living room. Late lunch just finished when Mum came round to watch my new Les Mis DVD - awe! I agree that Untouchable is a brilliant film & I need to see it again soon.

    Well, no chance of sunburn here...footrot maybe. However, as a precaution I am wearing 2 factor 100 jumpers.
