Biltong and a boat

Well South Africa did eventually beat Pakistan 2-1 and even England managed to beat the Aussies down under since my last post. There is so much sport on at the moment I have struggled to focus. Superbowl Sunday, yes the other type of oval-balled sport, hit Bermuda last weekend with far too many complaining of sore heads on Monday morning. The game lasts so long most people resort to drinking out or sheer boredom!

The biltong was an added incentive to watch rugby this weekend (cracking Cheethas vs Stormers game) and our supplies were flattened within a couple of hours. The plans are already in motion to make some more. The photos below are proof WE actually made it!!

The other bit of exciting news is that we have bought a powerboat with the hope of taking advantage of the vast water surrounding us. Hopefully not investigating the waters of the TRIANGLE. My first task has been to learn how to drive the thing, moor it, clean it, refuel it and the list grows. My vocabulary now includes cleats, impellors, bildge pumps and swing moorings. Say no more. The more people I can take out the better so get over here!!

For those that know their boats here it is.

Nicki leaves for London on business this Saturday night and then Tayla is in my complete care until I land in London on Thursday morning. The nursery school's headteacher was quite surprised when I told her this and even asked if I was sure I could cope. I told her Tayla will be singing campfire songs in no time and have complete knowledge of how to cook marshmellows on the braai. Scurvey did spring to mind but I do believe priates last inhabited Bermuda 100 years ago. London here we come!!
