The next decade....what's in store?

Another great day off

This island is just plain fantastic!

After the doctor, I dragged myself to the gym. Didn't really want to go but not sure if I will be able to go tomorrow nor Wednesday....definitely not Thursday so I thought I'd better do at least 45 mins.

Did that, beetled hom, changed into bikini and headed to the beach.

Timed the tanning perfectly (half hour each on front and back and then about 20 minutes more on the front), left, bought 'dinner' (fish and shrimp wrap and fresh fruit smoothie....made with real fruits), went home, picked up my journal and headed to Morne Delice.

Where is Morne Delice? It's a little nook of Grenada that I discovered last week on the day off. Not far out of town, but feels like country. I so want to live in a rural setting here. I had always said I wasn't buying house nor land, but when I saw it, I think I am changing my mind. I'll post a pic later. Drove, took in the view, drove some more and a jeep was blocking my way. I shouted to some guys to ask where the driver was. In di bush. They soon came scurrying out of the bush, apologized and I said no problem.

Asked them who owned the land where we were, they told me then we started talking about who owned the rest of the land in the area. I told them I was interested in a piece so they said follow them and they would take me to a man who they know has land.

Mr Vincent was washing his dog when we pulled up. Then he invited me in, showed me some he had near him...I told him I didn't like it....too many houses around. We chit chatted (he is retired...used to live in the USA then returned home) then on the way out, I commented that a plant looked nice and he offered me a piece. (I've potted it out....it will probably die...like the croaking lizard. More on that later too).

Drove to Perdmontemps and Minorca, stopped by a guy, he wasn't there, drove some more and ended up in a dead end. While attempting to reverse, the back wheel fell into the drain and I was stuck! I put my hands on my hips as I came out of the car. How could that have happened?????

The old people came to commiserate. It wasn't the first or second time it had happened though, so I didn't feel so bad. They gathered some young men, including Chris with an English accent, I got back in and pressed the gas as they lifted. Success!! I felt silly.

Drove out to Old Westerhall, and then back to my neck of the woods in Grand Anse. Just peaceful, quiet and you can chat to people without fear they going to take you away. The people who lifted the car out of the drain didn't ask me for any money. So refreshing.

See post below for some pictures.

Oonu tink mi did disappear...nuh truut?

I'm just finding it difficult to have ME time, that's all. But in another month or two, things should be better.

Just to update you....

...2 weeks ago I flew into Jamaica without di parents, The Niece and The Nephew knowing. Only di sis and di bro did know. Came to help a friend conduct some training at the last minute, so I decided to do the fun thing and surprise them. Good thing the parents hearts are strong! They had not got a clue!

I drank so much coffee while I was there it wasn't funny. Yummy coffee though. Those of you who are into coffee, please visit Cafe Blue opening inside of Deli Works in Sovereign. This is the retail store of Coffee Traders Ltd, the only 100% Jamaican own Coffee processing and exporting company.

Will be back in Jamrock for cricket. Cricket also comes to Grenada in June.

Listen.....the year is travelling fast. Don't let it go by without you accomplishing your goals and being happy.

Now things are so bad that I am going to wash and set my hair at 10pm....and I'm working 7am tomorrow. Woe is me!
