Clearly not a good start to the day.

Actually it was kind of funny because Mary Anne just lost it completely. I mean as a fellow brit I only got into the syrup on pancakes and french toast when I moved here, but clearly if your an american and you can't get syrup for your pancakes or french toast then you may as well announce world war III. I mean to Americans this is clearly unacceptable and baby did Mary Anne make that VERY BLOODY CLEAR.

I mean you have to sort of see the funny side of it, because Mary Anne and Aphrodite were so mad and so hated the waitress that it was hysterical. I mean not only did they complain to the waitress they also took the situation to Ralph the hotel manager and demanded he remove the cost of 4 portions of french toast from the bill, which, by the way he did.

No syrup for french toast to the Americans is like no vinegar for English people's fish and chips...oh yeah this is serious shit going on.

Oh yeah and also Mary Anne spilt her orange juice all over Professor's newly cleaned WHITE t-shirt. I'm telling you I nearly wet my knickers but didn't dare laugh because he would of killed me and he's such a big baby when it comes to things like that. Then again this is the second time in public that she's spilt something on him, the first was last year when we went to see Shakespeare in the Park and she spilled red wine all over his white pants, it was hysterical and he went completely ballistic. Oh such fun.

Ok she's gonna kill me for that one.

Actually for Professor he handled the whole thing rather well. I mean yes at first he had a girly fit but then later on in the villa he joked about it and to be honest the second outfit he put on I much preferred

So the rest of us have decided to go back to Cap Juluca and spend the day. I have made a special attempt to completely slather myself with sun lotion so as not to burn. I also managed to read a lot more of my book and take this great shot of this beautiful lone boat just off the beach.

Tex Man kept asking me why I was being so quiet and that I hadn't said anything for a while. This kind of amuses me because to be honest I spend most days by myself and generally can go a whole day without talking to anybody else, apart from myself of course. You see people have this perception of me that I'm really loud and obnoxious which yes, can be very true but I'm also pretty quiet most of the time, then again I'm sure Morpheus would disagree. 

So I decide after our lovely lobster wrap lunch to head back to our resort to chill by the pool because to be honest (diva coming up) the floury sand is whipping against my face which is driving me nuts.

Oh yeah and guess what.....the back of my legs are burnt to a crisp......AAARRGGHHH!!

On my return I was happy to see Noel (Carol's Noel) ", who had flown in that day. He was busy sunning himself so me and Carol sat and chatted. Actually he woke to tell me that he thought Carol was clearly nuts because in a few months (she's pregnant) she will be giving birth to their child and will then be taking responsbility for another human life, but she couldn't manage to apply sun lotion properly, hence looking as fried as me.

Isn't he mean??? but kinda funny though

Soon the others came back and we all sat and happily chatted together wondering what those naughty boys were getting up to. Hey so long as they return laden with gifts who gives a shit.

Eventually the boys did return looking mischevious but relaxed. I didn't believe Morpheus when he said he'd only lost $20 but the boys did back him up. Maybe they'd all sworn each other to secrecy. I did get a lollipop from hubby which was sweet. Apparently they hadn't managed to get to the shops and a woman was giving away free lollipops off the boat. I think Hermes was disappointed as the casinos hadn't opened until 2 and then they had to leave around 5, poor Hermes can't give his money away.

So tonight we went to Johnno's with a promise of a limbo dancing spectacular. The menu was quite simple, lots of fish but to be honest I'm all fished out and decided to have chicken breast with rice and peas instead which was delicious. Morpheus had the Snapper and said that it was the best Snapper he'd ever eaten at a restaurant which I'm sure the chef was happy about.

" The restaurant was out on the beach and wasn't really more than a done up shack but compared to the much fancier restaurants we'd been to it was a nice change. No need to dress up which was just as well as my legs really hurt, nice and casual, love it.

Everyone was happy, even Hermes seemed to enjoy his meal....phew, thank god for that...joking sweetie pie!!

Before we knew it we were being ushered by our delightful waitress to eat up and move inside to watch the limbo spectacular. Some stoner looking dude guy even brought in chairs for us to sit on. Professor for some reason decided to stay outside, not sure why. So the show began and at first she just danced around a lot which was kind of boring, but then she jiggied up and really started to shake things up.

After she'd been under once, she moved over to the side and lit this stick then she moved back and lit the whole of the beam, jesus we were sat quite close and the heat was amazing.  Then the next thing this chick is bending back and she's under

I mean she was really good, the whole beam was lit, then she placed some lit bottles underneath the bar and THEN she went under while holding two more trays of what looked like lit cappucinos. She was really good, very impressive.

So after a few more tricks she then tried to grab members of the audience. Of course I shot up and ran as I absolutely HATE any kind of audience participation, but Aphrodite and Morpheus weren't so lucky. Apart from Morpheus falling AFTER he came up from the beam, they did good.

So after the limbo spectacular the reggae band started up and a dudish stoner looking guy did a bit of rapping which was brilliant, much better than that "thong song" guy or the rest of them L.A. boneheads.

Great night, completely exhausted and burnt but I don't care, it's all worth it.
