hi - a short post as not much to say - we've taken out a monthly sub at Pegasus, which allows us to use their pool and gym - not badly equipped and air-conditioned, so no excuse for Penny to go to flab. It's also just up the road from the Iwokrama Georgetown offices.
We also got our shipping in last week, so good supplies of tea and marmite, and a ton of toiletries, that we could have easily bought here.. still, it was fun unpacking the boxes - which are going to recycled for Penny's archive storage - and Malcolm's appreciating a few more changes of clothes - he'd been on holiday rations until now.
Tuesday 23 February, was republic day or Mashramani, with a sort of carnival parade - not quite up to Trinidad standards but still pretty noisy and crowded. We took an old disposable camera, so photos to come, if we can get it developed. We saw some floats from government departments, which I don't think happens at Notting Hill.
We're beginning to get used to the heat; our location,on the East Coast sea-wall, means we are not too plagued by mosquitos, and we have got into the habit of walking along the sea-wall most evenings before the sundowner on the balcony, so not too bad really. And now Malcolm's making bread again - it's almost home from home... only 30 degrees hotter!
