Day 495 - Sea Day

Another night to get all dolled up…

I had a bit of a sleep-in. Jaco was paged at 0800 this morning & he was already up, but in the shower, so I got up to fetch him. By the time he answered the phone, the caller had hung up! And so his day went that way! Poor guy! I think I saw him for a total of 2 hours today!

I managed to get 2 loads of laundry done. Of course, I managed to acquire oil spatters all over one of Jaco’s t-shirts & my pants from one machine & the other machine just didn’t work. I went back 40 minutes later to put the 2 loads in the dryer & the dark load was still stuck on filling the tub. It ran water for 40 minutes. Needless to say, I didn’t finish laundry in time for dinner!

I rearranged the cupboards & drawers, as the cupboards are getting warm during the day & I don’t want my ingredients to sit heated all day long. I juiced some wheatgrass, watered the sprouts that are slowly growing & then got ready for dinner. I was about to walk out the door, when I had that feeling that something was missing… HAIR! Oh yes, I had forgotten to put on my wig. Minor detail!

Jaco was still busy in the clinic, so he couldn’t join us. Hopefully for the 3^rd & final formal night he will be able to. Tonight was lobster night, so M&D2 enjoyed lobster & beef wellington. It took a little convincing, but I managed to convince D2 to have some chocolate mousse… M2 & I tried the cheesecake with fresh strawberries.  And some mandarin sorbet.

I checked my messages tonight & had a lovely email with photos from Shanel. Her & Jordan have been looking after the dogs for us these past 2 weeks & she sent a message to say that everyone is doing well… A few potty problems, but for the most part, all is well! I was so thrilled to see photos of the girls. I sure do miss them!

Tomorrow is our tour to the Baths at Virgin Gorda. I’m very excited to see them. Stay tuned!

 Ignore the copyright on the following three photos - I didn't take them & they aren't mine to copyright. It's just a Picasa whoopsie.

 I did take this one though!

Out on deck.

Gotta love the reflection shades!

Just another day in Paradise! Note the Del Sol keychain from Collet!
