Tuesday is make your own dinner day!

Who's sunning themselves

After our daily chores we enjoyed a morning relaxing by the pool. The weather is wonderful although too hot by midday. Our peace however was disrupted by the arrival of a slippery friend who popped his head out from under the deck box. We have got used to the little lizards running around but are not so sure of the new arrival. With no way of knowing if this was harmless as a grass snake or a less friendly variety we were stuck watching him until he had cleared the patio door so that we could call Belinda and ask her what we should do. Her response was kill it or trap it for Kelly to kill later .. of course by then we couldn't see where it had gone so have been keeping a cautious watch!

Visit to the sunshine state

We arrived safely in Florida on our latest visit to Belinda and Lily. It was a good flight and as always Virgin Atlantic fed us well on the flight. we were tired but managed to stay awake a while, even walking to the local park with Belinda and Lily to stretch our legs.

As we arrived on a Tuesday Belinda and Lily were both out all week so we were able to just potter around and enjoy the sunshine. Next week Lily is going to come home from school at lunch time as she only has lessons in the mornings and the rest of the day is activities and after school care. Marley and Guinness kept us company during the day until everyone came home.

It has been unusually hot for the time of year and the temperature has been up to 87F. They keep telling us there is going to be a cold snap and that the temperature will drop to the low 70's, which is of course still warm enough for us. The pool is really good for cooling down.

On Saturday I went to get my hair cut and we ate lunch out. In the early evening we walked along the Waterfront and engaged in some people watching. It was a beautiful warm evening with just the right amount of breeze.
