I got up at 8 this morning (the ONLY reason for this time is due to the beach).  Got the LIR (long island railroad) at 9:32 to Babylon, changed trains to Bayshore, hopped on ferry to Seaview, arrived 11:13.

After unpacking and taking in the peace and tranquility of being by myself, I made my why to the beach, which incidentally I timed, because I'm anal and it only takes...wait for it, 2 minutes and 33 seconds...not bad eh!!

To my absolute delight the beach was completely deserted, no seriously all I could see were little specks of what I can only assume are other humans about 300 yards away.  Absolute heaven, my blanket, my book, my shades and cowboy hat and I was away.....sun, give me sun!!

So I'm back at the house now after just over 3 hours of sun, well I have to be careful with this lily white English skin you know.  I took a shower outside which feels fabulous, just being out there with the overhanging trees, the sounds of the birds singing, cool water trickling on your sun-kissed skin, divine......whoa, getting a bit carried away there.

So I'm here in the living room with the sun streaming through the french windows, actually that sounds nice doesn't it, but I'm in deep shit for not bringing the curtains and curtain poles.  Arrh come on though, I had to bring out my small Samsonite today, with my Notepad and OVERPACKED rucksack...that's a lot to travel with, never mind bloody curtain material and poles.  And before anyone asks the question, no, Morpheus would never dream of taking material and poles into the office with him, to then bring here afterwards.  It's just not cool man....WHATEVER.

So, as I was saying, oh yeah so I'm sat here with my Corona feeling very happy and glowy.  My girlfriends Ty and Precious will be getting off the Ferry around 4:30pm which I'm really looking forward to.  We'll probably quickly unpack, I'll see if they want a snack and then I think we should head to the beach with our mugs of wine (you can't really take glasses, the beach police get aggravated, which invariably leads to a night in their cell where your shagged all night with a bathroom plunger...go figure).

I'm not going to sign off until something exciting happens and I'll be right back on, so you don't you worry people...spragg won't let you down.  In the meantime I'm off to sit on the deck and read my book..

adios amigo's

OK I'm back, the girls have arrived but the trip to the beach with wine is NOT going to happen, because apparently the island is to be sprayed tonight between the hours of 7 and 10 due to the West Nile Virus, which killed a number of people in Manhattan last year.  They're just be cautious I guess.  So Morpheus and Buddy Weiser got her about 8 this evening, I made pasta and Buddy made extremely fabulous Watermelon  cocktails which consist of watermelon puree, lemonade, Cointreau and Tequila....to die for!!  So we've been partying for the past 7 hours and I'm knackered.......
