Only a day to go

What with Ireland against Zimbabwe and Santo Patrick's Day coming up this weekend it would be easy to overlook the building excitement of how the Mighty, Mighty England will destroy the always beatable Black Sheep tomorrow in St Lucia. A loud shout of 'mint sauce' from the Barmy Army should be enough to send them packing before lunch.

 

But first an update from the Dominican......

 

Yesterday was quite eventful here.  The transformer outside our appartment exploded and luckily the little chap who was sitting inside the transformer building (hut) at the time seemed to escape with nothing more than a sore arm.

 

Mrs. C. was accused of stealing another person's deckchair.  Fortunately I have taken her aside to review a key phrase of the Queen's English so she will be adequately prepared should it happen again.  I can hear it now floating across the beach in a strong Ohio accent, "What don't you bog off you nasty little French git."

 

The evening entertainment consisted of a competition to find the person who could limbo dance and best speak Honolulu.  This was easily won by some bloke from Chile.  This seemed very unfair as I have already reported that almost all the people here are from Canada or Quebec.

 

If I could find a puck I would certainly burn it and send the Ashes back to Toronto after the unfortunate defeat to Kenya yesterday. I fear tougher times are ahead for the Mighty Snow Bails!

 

Looking forward to watching 15 seconds of Dwayne Leverock today.  Most go as the bar is open in 13 minutes.......
