All Quiet

Strangely, now the weekend has arrived it has become much quieter. For the first time we were the only people in the pool this morning. We remembered finally to take the underwater camera - a Kodak disposable that is encased in plastic and works by focusing light on photographic film. We have absolutely no idea what the pictures look like because they need to be "developed". Did we really live this way?

In the afternoon we took the boat to the beach, which was also much quieter. It was a bit of fiasco because H is not interested in being confined and wants to swim freely in the sea. A wave knocked the boat over and J's sunglasses were headed to Davy Jones's Locker. Luckily our practice in the pool with masks paid off and he managed to find them. We returned to the shore soon after.

It was windy so we couldn't just leave the boat on the beach, so one of us had to sit in it while H collected shells with the other. We have quite the collection building up.

After H's dinner we returned for a walk along the beach with Pippin before bed. In the morning she has recently been watching Madagascar 2, which I downloaded to my iPad. As a little treat for tomorrow I have downloaded Bee Movie.

For us now it is the quiet part of the day. Time to read a little, write a little and yes drink a little.
