Early Morning - with Rain!

Well - I'm here on the island at last and finally relaxing.

In my head I'm relaxed as soon as I arrive but, as usual, it will take a few days for the body to catch up (or slow down?...whatever!). I find myself awake at 5am, lying in bed and listening to the Caribbean sea......and the rain!

When we arrived last night we were told it has been really hot and no rain for a few weeks - now it looks like I brought a piece of the North West of England with me. It actually makes the world feel refreshed, so there is a lovely cooling breeze on the balcony as I type.

The rain stopped and there is blue sky emerging, along with the morning sun - so no worries on that front. The usual collection of joggers and power walkers are out on the boardwalk already. I have to say that I have concerns about some of them and I am thinking to invent a handy defibrillator attachment for the FitBit and iPhone. Of course, it would have to have a loud voice programmed in to shout stuff like ,
"Charging to 360....stand clear....shocking'"
so that anyone coming across an out-of-condition foreigner in running gear, thrashing about on the boardwalk, will know to stand back.

I say it all in jest, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone somewhere wasn't already working on my idea.You have to be in awe of technology that lets a person (ie. me) logging on as easy as pie to the net and chatting to the World at large, whilst watching the waves on an island thousands of miles from home. Mind boggling!

Ok - need a second cup of peppermint tea and, since we skipped dinner last night, I am feeling peckish. I've heard that Bistro Monet are doing daily breakfasts for Bds$10 from 7.30 am - so that might be a plan.

Otherwise, bank, supermarket and chilling are the order of the day.
Off to put the kettle on,
