The past days...

So, I've been suffering from power cuts, internet black-outs and HEAT. Especially when there's a power cut. After only having one? in the first week, or maybe the first one didn't come until week 2, I thought, okay, maybe these will be few and far between. Nu-uh. Apparently not so few. I noticed this particularly after I plugged out my emergency light one day, and the power went the next day. Hmmm. I now keep it plugged in at all times. :)

In any event, we didn't let the lack of power stop us from going to explore. Next stop.

To start off we had a little misadventure. I know it may be a little hard for you to see, but that break in the grass in the first picture is ....          

yes, SF's shoe almost "ankle deep" in the mud. What a way to start off the day. Fortunately, she was not hurt and able to get cleaned up so we could be on our way to view the animals... :)

Flip flop after the rescue...

I'm not going to show you all the animals, but one or two are important. First off, who remembers Prep/Primary School History? This one is for the Caribbean folk amongst us... Remember the Agouti? Well here he is...


Agouti - The famous Labba? Remember him from the previous post at Madewini Gardens?

  WHAAAAAAAT? Whoever heard of a snake neck turtle???

Free Saturday

Weather.com says it's 84degrees and feels like 91!!!  HUH!!!!  That's what THEY say. I'm telling you, right now it feels like 101!!!!  At least! Still, many of my friends had to get up and shovel their way out this morning, so, who am I to complain? Nah. Not complaining, just letting you know what ah gwaaan!

So, we didn't get to go to the Zoo and Botanical Gardens today, but, fear not... there's still 346 days left. :) My new friends were out partying and went to a concert last night. So, them did dust out and couldn't make it. I gotta teach them how to bleach all nite and then still party some more! ;)

So, here I am all morning hand-washing my clothes and treating my mosquito net. Which is great. But who can reach to the ceiling to hang it? So now I have a nice new treated mosquito net draping my headboard. Joy!! :) Will have to call one of the 6-footers to help...

LUNCH was left-overs. Some cook-up and a slice of fried plantain. Heated on the stove because there's no microwave. I know, I know. It doesn't look very appetizing, and maybe I should've waited until I had a nice dish, served pretty to take a pic and show you. But, you know what??? THIS is my reality. So, now you know what I'm really eating. :)

Feel free to post your comments! :)
