Hey everyone I'm back....did you miss me?
OK for some reason my software for my Canon camera isn't working, so as I'm typing this I'm backing up all my old photos and yes there's lots of them, into another folder, so that I can un install my Zoom Browser file and then re-install it. Hopefully that will work, if not then we're screwed and all you will get to see is Snoopy's pictures, which no doubt will be massively vetted as none of them will go online unless she specifically says so...ha!
Yes I have colour, not as much as Snoopy and Major Nelson, they look like Barbadian locals, honestly, I've never seen people go so dark?
It's a beautiful island and our hotel was fab, although it was jam packed full of Brits, just like I said. Oh god it was weird sitting there, every morning listening to so many different British accents, it just totally threw me.
Well at least I wasn't the only fair skinned person on the beach, so it was good having them there for that. Oh yeah and I also felt quite slim, well to be honest there were some seriously out of shape people on that beach, but who cares, they were having fun.
Oh yeah and talking about fun, wow you gotta love those jet skies. I wouldn't go on for the first couple of days, couldn't be bothered and was concerned that I might fall off. EVENTUALLY Morpheus persuaded me to try one out and oh my god, how fantastic was that? So for the last 4 days I went out EVERY DAY, hey I was just pissed that I hadn't gone out the first day.
It's great, it's fast, hard and just totally exhilarating, especially when you pull off fast and hard from the beach and know that everyone is watching you. Actually one day we had a lot of choppy waves coming in, so I set off, I squeezed the accelerator to it's full capacity and shot right over this big wave, so that the whole machine just took off from the ocean, right into the air, it was brilliant. I was just thankful that I could hold on...
Yeah me and Morpheus had a lot of fun on those things, especially when you go close to the tourist boats that are out and about with people dancing on them and drinking rum punches, they all wave, you smile, then show off and speed off...it was a blast.
So tonight I'll ask Morpheus to take a look at my camera software as it's totally fucked up, not sure why, but we'll try and get it fixed so that I can show you the holiday pictures.
I highly recommend Barbados, the people are so friendly, even the hustlers on the beach, you know the jet ski boys, they'll do and say anything to make you jet ski, but for the most part they left us alone, as they knew we were going to ski with them daily.
Because our hotel was an all inclusive (which I would never normally do) this meant that we could eat at other hotels associated with our hotel, basically the food was included in our package, so that was good, but to be honest we were kind of pleased that we were staying at Crystal Cove as the other hotels didn't seem as much fun as ours. OK they were fancier, but quite quiet and a bit snooty, not our sort of place.
A couple of nights though we went to posh restaurants that yes, we had to PAY FOR. First was a restaurant called The Cliff, just down the road from our hotel. Oh god this place was amazing, we had a wonderful table, overlooking the ocean, actually the terrace wrapped all the way around the corner, so a lot of people had great tables. The food was just to die for, and the wine was exceptional, especially as we ended up getting a $280 bottle of wine for $130.
Well you see Major Nelson ordered a rather lovely Chablis I believe it was? So the wine comes, he tastes it, it seems rather delicious, then after we'd all had a glass poured, you see that our wine waiter calls over the Manager, says something in his ear, them Manager looks over at the wine, rolls his eyes and walks off. Then Major Nelson looks at the wine and realises it's the wrong one that he ordered, that this wine is in fact also a Chablis, but a bloody expensive one, yeah $280 worth.....
So you can imagine the hoo ha with all this.
So the Manager comes back over, explains the situation and tells us that the wine guy will have the remainder amount of $150 taken out of his wages.
We felt bad for him, but he had made a mistake and we didn't feel that it was fair to make us pay $280 for the wine, when we had in fact ordered an $130 bottle you know?
So that was a bit of a hiccup, well not really for us as the wine was delicious but I hope they didn't reprimand that guy too much as he was really nice.
Oh yeah and then one night we went to another fab restaurant called The Lonestar and guess who was there (sorry my American chums you probably won't know him) Nicky Clarke, yeah the English hairdresser to the stars, looking extremely faggy, but hanging on to a lovely piece of totty in a teeny tiny black dress with a fab body and a lovely tan.
Of course Snoopy and Major Nelson were like, who the hell is he? funny.
Ok well more on the holiday over the next few days when the pictures are available.
In the meantime let me leave you with this 
which is an interview by BussBuss.Com with my pals Nicole and Margaret about their clutch bag line. The interviews cute and yes it mentions me and puts a link to this site, which is fantastic don't you think?
Oh god I wish I could get some writing work, can you imagine me writing for a site like Buss Buss.Com? aw that would be awesome...ah well, one can dream I suppose.
Ok listen I gotta go people, I've got to find a job, call Max at Midtown Tennis as he wants to discuss re-designing their web site, which to be honest REALLY needs it....then re-mail another potential client, then get my ass to the gym.
I heard it's going to snow tomorrow? is that ture? oh god
It's good to be home....no honestly it is
