Alright boys and girls, ALOHA! In case you're wondering about the long radio silence prior to the poem in the last post, I was away in Hawaii the past 2 weeks getting jiggy with nature. Talk about clean living; I spent my days lying on sun-drenched beaches, looking at volcanoes, hiking, snorkelling, admiring the indescribably blue skies, watching falling stars at night, drinking loads of guava nectar and making some, hopefully, life-changing decisions with regards to the new year. I'm feeling better than I did before I left and it's probably due in part to my having only had 1 (alcoholic) drink in the entire 2 weeks and that was only because it was Benji's (my wee brother) 18th Birthday (I love the little man!)....anyhoo, I'm back in The Pore and it's been raining cats, dogs and all sorts of domestic creatures non-stop. I fear that my lovely golden tan is fading swiftly and although it ain't pouring as I type, it still doesn't offer much consolation cos I know, I just know that at any moment now, the rain could come pissing down again without respite, as it has since I returned to these shores......
Enough depressing chat about the weather, I'll post some pictures of what I've been up to as soon as I get the chance. In the mean time, those who've had the misfortune to be on this little island in this weather, thank your lucky stars that you ain't in our neighbouring countries affected to a greater extent by the rainy weather. Why don't you drop everything right now and hug your ma and pa? Go on, ya big softy! *grin* Peas Oot.
