East London Bits and
Bobs
 Friday the 13th of December. Pottered about the
estate doing jobs not venturing out as the wind is still blowing to a gold
standard..... Went ashore at six for showers and supper at the Buffalo River Yacht Club.
  We were welcomed with tasty bar snacks and the long dining room
table dressed handsomely.
 Tonight, home-made
lasagne served with salad, rolls and coleslaw.
  Sunday the 15th.
Last night we went over to Nauti Nauti for snacks and a game of Mexican Train
Dominoes. Tonight back to the yacht club for fish night. Local fillets awaiting Klaus
(Margrethe) to work his Swedish charm.
  Mark (yacht
club manager) supervised the fires doing a great
job.
  A hive of
industry. Tonight the dining table was decked in
pretty blue.
 By popular request there were two
bowls of coleslaw together with rice, salad and
rolls. The fish was delicious and much praise for our chef.
 Mick
(Zoa) and I seem to have taken on the team discipline of rinsing
the dishes and loading the dishwasher, a bit of a novelty for
me....
 Monday the 16th.
Great excitement this morning as a car transporter
came in expertly maneuvered by two working girls. A joy to watch and all done in
super quick time.
 A mammoth queue of
cars waiting to be loaded.
  This chap sat
behind us, wings outstretched to dry off but by the time I got the camera
trained on him – snapped shut.
 Tuesday the 17th. We
went with Allen and Patricia (Nauti Nauti) to the mall for a good leg
stretch and spend the longest time since arriving off our boats. A lovely entrance gate replete with a smiling security
guard.
  A nice, big mall
to bimble. Loved the shop called Grumpy
Monkey. We enjoyed a long lunch, shopped until we dropped gathering up
some Christmas treats as we went and somehow managed to get everything in the
tiniest of taxis.
 Wednesday the 18th.
Check out day. A bit of a hoot Bear reported. He was asked to take a photograph
of our clearance paper in case it a) got lost. b)
someone needed to see it and c) the policeman wasn’t sure his fax machine was up
to muster.
 Our last meal at the yacht club and
no, we are not Billy Nomates, it’s just that our meat was randomly cooked
first........that’s your story and you’re sticking to
it. Don’t make me growl......
ALL IN ALL ENJOYED, BUT
DIDN’T WANT TO STAY FOR CHRISTMAS
