Sunday and it's raining.....

It's dull today with all grey skies as we settle in for an all day coastal rain. It's the first day we have had rain other than a few spits here and there. The foggy haze of the rain over the marina gives it an almost haunted look. Each boat sits still and straight, there are no people milling about and no reflection in the water. Just a lonely harbour waiting for the sun.  Tomorrow promises the sun to return, so life will once again return to the marina.

Up until today the weather has been great, lots of sun and warm temperatures. That meant pool time everyday and lots of time outdoors.  This weeks activities included a seafood and fish supper oceanside with live music, an evening of Thai cuisine, and a grand anniversary gala at our friends place of work. We are lucky to have such great friends here who always make life fun and interesting. The gala event was over the top with free flowing champagne, open bar, more food than could ever be eaten, including, sushi bar, chocolate  dessert bar, roasted pork and lamb with salad, Cuban buffet, and plates of appetizers offered continuously.  There was live art, dueling pianist and singers, and to top off the evening , a wonderful fireworks display. We felt like celebrities. 

All in all a wonderful week. Hope all is well back home.
