Sunday, the winds died down. But it was overcast and rainy, and cold! The winds died down only for that day, though. I don’t know what is going on, but this is a really strange extended weather pattern. The seas have been too choppy for fun boating, sailing and snorkeling for almost two months!

I’ve done a few massages on the beach and after a couple of hours of being belted by the gusts, I just want to get home to cuddle up with a good book (or a cute husband or dog).

I was out at Tamarind Reef beach a few days ago, and although it wasn’t as cold as when Wreg and Wgigi were here, after two and a half hours (when the gusts actually worsened), I started asking the universe for just 10 lousy minutes of calm, just to soothe my nerves. I got about 90 seconds before the next gale force blast. Okay, it would be a lot worse.

I kept looking up at the coconuts in the trees and hoping they would come flying off at me or fall on my client. I probably wouldn’t be able to convince anyone that it was a “bonus feature of today’s massage”, like when the wind blows sand all over and I tell them it’s their free exfoliation.

Just after breakfast this morning, a wind and rainstorm blew by. Now it’s sunny again. But still windy, of course. Well, I’m off to Chenay to sit on the beach for a while and maybe do a little business. After that, I’ll do lunch at Cafe Christine with my little Pookie. Reviews of Christine’s to follow…..

….And tonight, Michael and I will go to the Botanical Gardens for their “Gardens by Moonlight” special event.
