3 buoys

usually this area of west end is full

of people swimming and snorkeling

but i think the threat of those clouds holding

rain

had scared people away.

i am glad 

it made for a better shot to be people less.

i wanted to go snorkeling this afternoon too

but we didn't 

not because of the rain

but because we stopped at barefoot cay to pick

up dan for lunch etc

and he forgot his bathing suit/snorkel stuff

i need to get serious about exercise again

there is an expression amongst the islanders when 

they are getting fat

it is this:

i be gettin' tick

(i am getting thick.. which means i am getting fat)

yup..

that's me.

i be gettin' tick

having said that i guess we shouldn't have stopped

at the 3 brothers bakery to buy one of the pine cookies

(sugar cookies filled with pineapple)

they are delicious.

manana

i will exercise

manana 

i will stop eating cookies and icecream and goodies

manana...

you know what manana means don't you

most people think it means tomorrow

but after living in this culture for almost two years

i know that manana really means..

not today...

so what am i confessing?

that i am getting fat

or that i am going to start exercising?

ummm...

both.

yeah!
