this little desert island is next door to our little bit bigger desert island. check out the water. just like you'd see in a swanky magazine, i never thought i'd be someone that appears in swanky magazines or has anything to do with swanky magazines. we had a swim here on our way back to the mainland, and saw the fleeting dolphins nearby.
today is belize national day - it is in memorial of the battle of st george's caye. i asked in the store if they did a reenactment of it. this would involve spanish and english and belizeans fighting each other with cannon balls and large galleons and bottles of rum tiddly pum pum. they don't. they just close the shops and banks and have parades and other such festive things. probably a few people will get killed in the city, but that's just a normal day.
last night there was loads of lightning swarming around - i was on my own as robert had gone to the city to do a load of manly things like pick up lumber and drive a trailer around (which came off in the middle of the road as some man hadn't connected it properly at the lumber shop - robert was mortified as the traffic all had to drive round him standing there trying to reattach truck to trailer). anyway the lightning and thunder just rumbled around for most of the night and never actually struck the house or turned into a storm.
i'm drinking a cup of hot milk as it helps you sleep. there is something in milk called melatonin which is also released by the brain while it sleeps, thus the connection between milk and sleeping. robert said hot milk makes him feel sick as it reminds him of when he was little and his uncle milked a cow straight into his mouth and it was all warm and gross. i don't like my milk anymore now actually either.
