1st December 2011


It’s been so quiet on the Island that we’ve not had any work for what seems like ages.  It’s been good to recharge the batteries but also pretty frustrating.

The biggest event that’s happened was James’s leaving do.  A crowd of us met at Safety Stop for food and drinks which was very chilled.  As most of us had signed up to go on the morning boat (7am) or were teaching,  it wasn’t going to be a late one.   By the time the majority of people had left, James thought it would be a nice idea to have ‘one for the road’ at Vibe.  

  
By chance, Vibe was pretty busy with lots of the Crystal crew and a couple of hours later and far too many G&T’s, we stupidly accompanied everyone to ‘FishBowl’ (beach bar in Sairee) ..probably the 3rd time we’ve been there, very rare for us ‘oldies’ which inspired quite a few people to come along. 
 
By the time we got there, people were very drunk.  Simon & James played with the fire poi whilst I perched on one of the numerous beanbags chatting and watching several people charging into the sea fully clothed and naked  ..not a nice sight.



I think I only moved twice, once to the bar to buy a coke and sprite ..and then to rescue Si from a drunken conversation ;-D   We left James around 2.30am still partying away.  

In the morning, I woke to the sound of Simon being very ill ..Urgh!!!!       Next time when anyone says “One for the road?” I’m definitely saying NO!!  ;-D

...By the way, none of us made it for the morning boat :-)

Simon also has developed "Man Flu" and has been recuperating for a couple of days... while I have been looking after him.

Man flu is a serious affliction that requires special TLC from the loved one. Well done for looking after him Jen!
