Stargazer4moon's blog: "It depends on what occurs on the way."

How irritating. The garden boy gave me another bunch of flowers that he had picked from the garden. That was another 200 rupees for his efforts and I should not give him anything as it seems to encourage him to raid the gardens. === We currently have one Lotus Lilly, a red rod type flower and now five alum lillies in two bottle of water sitting on the lounge area table. We also have three palm frond origami birds done by another garden boy. They are very gifted and have to climb the trees to get the materials to make said birds. That is worth paying for as they are not the safest of trees to climb and I don't mind helping them eek a living here when they have the gumption to do something to make more of their lives. You have to admire their style. === Today will be another hard day of swimming, water aerobics, sun bathing then dining at lunch time. Followed by a rest then a nice beach massage. === Hopefully today the massage boy will have cut a hole in the matress for me to put my face into rather than suffocate with my face in a towel on a flatbed. I did not fancy getting oilded up yesterday so stayed here to have a pamper day. That was then and today has dawned bright and sunny. The wind has returned to its westerly way which means the seas have been rough for two days now. It seems the south winds only won the battle for a day but it was lovely to see a calm sea and not have to hear the constant crashing of breakers on the beach all day long. I imagine there are less things to worry about and probaby worse ones but that is enough to worry about for me for now, except for the eternal swooshing sound emitted by the room boy as he sweeps along the pathways. This means it is time to get moving as his next job will be to clean the rooms along the way. Before he can do ours we have to get tanned up with waterproof lotion before the dip into the pool just outside our room. Ah, hard work indeed but much deserved.
