Sandwich A great weekend with friends sandwiching a crappy weather day, if not footie day for once yesterday when I didn't even venture outside. Friday we entertained two couples, the husbands of whom I first got to know almost 20 years ago, but before arriving in Bermuda had not heard from or seen since the turn of the century. Both blokes I bumped into within my first fortnight here and we've reignited the friendship we had way back. One of the beauties of living in a small melting pot of people.

Today we had brunch with some other friends with the Hamilton Harbour as backdrop. Very nice and followed by a long walk on Elbow Beach on the South Shore. Named for it's bent shape, kids and Dad's dug sandcastles as the summer get's closer.

I'm hoping the decent weather back at home lasts as I fly back to Gatwick on Thursday night for 10 days, most of which will be spent in Eastbourne. A busy four days precludes that at work as well as my young other half's birthday. Note to self: Buy present, find sunglasses and pack lucky Charlton shirt. Cross that out, no such thing as a lucky Charlton shirt.  ¶ 20:26
