mel + sun = orange mel …. joy!
May 22nd, 2008as i mentioned, a holiday write up will follow, but in the meantime, here are some things i spotted:-
- 1 whale (too cute! big tale)
- 3 dolphins (that actually lept higher the more you cheered)
- 1 turtle (although i only saw his bottom as i was being distracted by a local who was stripping to his y-fronts - long story)
- 2 sting rays which i know won’t hurt, but scared the living day lights out of me nonetheless
- 26 cows all of which accompanied by some kind of chicken (what’s that about?)
- 18 horses
- 56 dogs (only 2 of which liked me, the rest just growled and snarled)
- 6 bizillion lizards. i began naming them but ran out after the 600th which was named ron
- 4 cockneys who miraculously tanned without leaving the bar (i’m thinking st tropez myself!)
- 1 security guard that didn’t approve of skinny-dipping but was happy to chat all night trying to establish why two girls would feel comfortable sharing a room together
there are plenty of other tales to be told (even though much of the holiday consisted of finding the energy to drag my sorry ass from the sun lounger to the sea and back again - it’s surprising how hard that can become!).
anyway, happy thursday, great to be back and more randomness to follow….

p.s. i have a completely unrelated question - where do birds go to die? you never see them just drop out of the sky… i’d really appreciate an answer to this question - it’s keeping me awake at night. okay, maybe it isn’t, but i would like to know!

Love the randomness keep it up!

I think about those things all the time Mel!
It reminds me of a very funny piece of ‘Goon Show’ writing.
Person One: “But we don’t have any Rods. How are we supposed to catch fish?”
Person Two: “Well they’ve got to die sometime. We’ll just wait until then”!
You look fabulous, love the tan.
Look forward to hearing what you got up to.

chris rowe, kallardnyc & jonathan - thanks and yes I recycle :). in answer to the team question - there’s been a bug going around so a few guys were out with that, a couple of the girls were at lunch and gill and ryan are off with jackson
amelia - it’s true though don’t you think? is there a secret land somewhere that birds retreat to when they get old? it continues to baffle me. i’m writing up the holiday post as we speak, it’s lengthy. don’t say i didn’t warn you!
redback - thanks, it really was great, although a little honeymoonish for my liking - not that i’m bitter or jealous at all, lol.

Forget the honeymooners, Mel. Lets get married
just playing.
You look great by the way - all bronzed up … HOT!
