*pops up over horizon a la Lawrence of Arabia*


*gradually comes into focus and appears to be dragging a huge sack through the sand*


*opens sack to pull out huge parasol (how did it fit in there?), hammock, cooler box and sunglasses*


*settles down with large icy drink*


What need of inventions when I can see the azure sea sparkling at my feet and flirting with the white sand? Apart from the above-mentioned items, of course...

Why thank you karter. You're a gent. Perhaps Moos has something in her cooler box she'd be willing to share. Failing that I'll get the G&B chopper to fly over and do a mercy drop of organic champagne.

Everyone needs to be a skivvy and muck in on this island, in order to survive. Please tell Brum not to light that beacon though, we don't have any reliable fire fighters, as yet.

You tell him. I'm lazing about in Moos's deckchair.


[but isn't Brum a firefighter?]

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
