Todays
Spuddle
 We arrived at the Blue Lagoon six
days ago, I managed the meke, just, and then fell foul of the bug I was
carrying. I retired to bed and stayed there until Bear got me on the Is It Blue
spuddle. This morning Bear got up and his right eye was incredibly painful
– I know when you look like a Pound Puppy it’s difficult
to tell – but the bags under the said right eye were much bigger
than they should be. What you are saying is instead of
being suitcase size it is removal trunk size............ Something
like that. We ought to try and get a breath of fresh
air, it’s a beautiful day out. OK we’ll try.
 Bit of land
firing going on on the island opposite.
  We struggle into Baby Beez
and head over to the reef in the middle. A handsome brown
booby acts as sentinel.
    The water was so
clear.
 We landed on Matacawalevu Island but as the tide was
going out and we didn’t have the strength to get stranded, we set off
again.
  Bear manages a smile. As we get to our beach by
Beez, I climb out, not knowing Bear was too – result, Baby
Beez shot up in the air and gave the skipper pain in
the nether region..........Let’s just say I think
I’ll be singing soprano for a few days. Oops. We settled on our
beach blanket, one of the resort dogs came over to say ‘hello’, sand everywhere.
Sadly, he was covered in ticks. Next thing the alpha dog of the troop came over
to assert his position but another one took this as a hackle up, attack. All
hell broke loose. Tick covered was set upon by the newcomer and the alpha got
stuck in as well. Snapping and snarling, blood and fur. The underdog squealing,
managed to get into the water and after a few more bites from the other two,
broke free and swam off. The other two stood, hackles up guarding the beach. The
swimmer went all the way to the resort a couple of hundred yards away. Alpha,
this time alone, trotted up and some sort of agreement was struck and all was
well once more. A thoroughly horrid thing to see – with that we packed up and
went home.
   The ground firing
looked effective at dusk. We sat and watched sunset and fell into bed. The only funny thing that
happened today was at suppertime. Neither of us wanted anything sensible to eat,
so yoghurt sounded easy. Now my favourite is forest fruits, dark like blackberry
– summer fruits is a mango colour, a bit sweet and has a funny perfume. Idea.
Mix half a packet of each and see what happens. Yesterday Bear took it upon
himself to be in charge, he asked if he should do anything for accuracy sake,
silly me told him that half a packet of each should be easy to guesstimate.
Well, today he was sacked as yoghurt maker. I managed two spoonful's of the
thickest gloop that was too thick to be used as wallpaper paste. Oops, I’ll try and water it down. Time for bed
methinks.
ALL IN ALL BACK TO SICK
