Any regular readers of this missive may be forgiven
for thinking we have given up travelling anywhere more 'exotic'. But we are
still waiting for the upholsterers to take our foam saloon cushions away and
make any adjustments before re-stuffing them into the brand new covers we
brought back with us from 'Blighty'. And, as previously mentioned, we like
Oriental but not the cooler weather to come if we stayed here.
In the meantime we continue to enjoy whatever events are
running and it being the Halloween season we ventured over to the Tiki Bar for
some music and laughs. A good time was had by all and some of the costumes for
the fancy dress competition were hilarious. Here they are....
  Starting with the seafood entree - this was
Neptune with his Prawns who spent the evening having their long tails trodden
on
  Talking of
tails..... the 'meat' course, a couple of
'cheetahs' chatting to a Mexican
  Any
Halloween bash needs a good display of pumpkins (and beer
cans)
  It was a chilly night but Skip's got his hair to keep him
warm
  On with the dancing.....there were some pretty frightening
characters on the floor, and a couple with very good 'ducting'
costumes
  The band -
'Saltwater Gold' joined in the fun with a disgraceful looking bovine
outfit donned by Mark their lead singer.
Winners of the fancy dress competition were Neptune and
his Prawns which was well deserved we thought. But all the udders were very
good.
On our way to the next Halloween bash we passed a scary
front garden....glad it was still daylight!
  and to the Silos party.....different venue - pretty much the
same costumes....
  'Marilyn Monroe' in fetching footwear and the 'udder'
costume makes another appearance.
also featured were ....
  two of the
'prawns' from the last party and a 'raven' chatting with a 'whoopee
cushion'
all too much fun!
Good news...our upholstery foam has been taken away for
'stuffing' and adjustment along with our staysail, mainsail and two of the
bimini sections which are in need of new zips. Should be on our way maybe next
week although the weather has now taken a turn for the worse again making a sea
voyage rather unattractive at the present time.
Stop press
and here it all is....
 
In all it's
glory. Unstuffed..............and
stuffed.
'Skip' kicked off the spillage account the same evening with some nice
chocolate Kit Kat shards.
Yikes!
