Another year added



Paul's another year older and we celebrated with our friends on Saol Eile who organised a superb dinner menu with the marina's chef on that evening. They had also done something similar on my birthday back in Tioman so we have been totally spoilt by this wonderful couple.

The only sting in the tail was when Myra went down to buy a cake, it appears that her wallet was lifted out of her bag with a fair few bucks in it but more seriously, her credit card. Such a nightmare. We are all a little shocked as it's simply not expected here, all the people have been scrupulously honest that we've encountered. 





During the day, Paul had gone off to get a few spare parts and I caught up on my internet at the club so was sitting right near the pool when two large monitor lizards decided to pay a visit. One hid under the hedge while the other checked out the pool but I think I frightened it off when I tried to take a photo. I didn't exactly hear the music to “Jaws” playing in the background but would have been a bit disconcerted had I been in there swimming at the time.







While I was on internet, something came up that rather surprised me and I'm not sure whether to think its clever or what as I also find it a bit creepy. I wanted to Google something and the icon came up with Google written in birthday cakes with “Happy Birthday Paul” on it. OK, so I understand how that could happen on Paul's PC but this was mine, registered to me, used by me and everything else by me. How the hell did it come up with this message for Paul? As I said, creepy, it makes one wonder what else they have access to!
