Happy Valentine's day

Happy Valentine's day to everyone who reads my blog today!
I've just tried to post my pictures of StingRay city and the Turtle farm. All I've got time for, but I hope that you all have a wonderful valentine's day...or not, if you're not into that sort of thing (I have a friend who would say Bah humbug to the whole smoochie coochie valentine's thing. Me, on the other hand, I'm an incurable romantic. Sorry Ross - many years of silly stuffed toys ahead of you...!)

What we've been up to on the island...

Here are some photos of what we've been up to on the island : Me on our way to Rum Point a few weeks ago, me at Rum Point, Ross trying out the local brew. We went to Sting Ray City 2 Saturdays ago, where the process of domestication of wild animals is happening before your eyes - the particular group of sting rays has learned that although the tourist boats are loud (music thumping) and expel people who scream when the rays come up and touch them, yummy squid is soon freely available to them... The rays are amazing creatures with a soft, muscular underbelly and they come right up to you and nudge you to see if you are withholding any squid. What an experience! And I just had to stick in a picture of the blue sea - this is the of sea and beach that is opposite the office block where I'm working - I even managed to go outside to the beach today at lunchtime and phone home for a bit. Was and is pretty awesome. I can't seem to upload the pictures of the rays, so will try another time. I'm also going to put in another picture of me and some work colleagues at the Turtle Farm, examining a baby turtle - very cute.

February 8, 2006

Hi everyone! I have just discovered the world of blogging and have decided to give it a try for myself. These pictures are of me and my wonderful dogs, Kit and Biggles, who I had to leave in Cape Town when I moved to the Carribean 6 weeks ago with my even more wonderful boyfriend, Ross. I'm going to play this site by ear, and see what I feel like putting on it, so posts might be frequent or infrequent, depending on my mood...
