Chores, Jobs and Vegetable
Man
   An industrious start to the day with
Bear doing an oil change. I lend a hand at the ‘pumping the last bit out’, I’m
happy being in charge of the squidging bit. Old oil labelled and delivered to
the resort who mix it with lamp oil for the natural torches we see glowing at
night. That done it was time to make a mess in the
kitchen, one of the nuts has cross-threaded and caused a little leak from
the water maker, so pleased this is a blue job and disappear to scrub the en
suite. I decide to take the toilet to bits so I soak the two rubbers, the seat
and the lid. I hope you can remember how it goes back
together. Umm. The bad language drove me back to my safe distance as
the cupboard under the sink was interfered with. Not
sure if that’s a smile or a grimace as I nip through
to the bin, retreating quickly only to return at the request for a bit of fluffy Velcro, don’t ask I didn’t. An
hour and a half all was back to rights with a very sweaty Bear wishing to go for
a snorkel to cool off. Just as we were setting off we saw the Veg Man and
returned to Beez ready for a quick bit of retail therapy.

II with its tiny outboard motor is a delight, this lovely couple arrive
twice a week with fresh tomatoes, beans, radishes, cassava, limes and bananas.
We had put in a special order for a dozen eggs which Millie the daughter was in
charge of packing in our box, for the princely sum of two pounds ten pence. This
unique little vessel goes to each yacht and even does a brisk trade from dinghy
riding patrons. Time to nip off for our snorkel then home to rinse the toilet
bits. Are you going to reassemble, oh no,
that’s a blue job. Growl, it’s such a fiddly job lining
up the rubber, bit of wood peg, bolt and washer. But you do it so
well and there was no need to beat me at backgammon, fair payback. Grrr.
