This House was Far Out to Sea Last Night. (Ted Hughes poem on James' and Alex' Collection). It was stormy and windy and wonderful most of the night. Peaceful morning, cooler than yesterday
Breakfast at BJ's was excellent. I saw a dark gray Heron and a very small bird dipping in the rock pools, that I could not identify. I keep seeing a pale spotted butterfly on the convolvulus outside the front door. Still less butterflies overall than I would vaguely have hoped for.
I told Ali about my hands and we are going to 'keep an eye on it'. Tiger balm! I've decided not to dive again.
Parrot fish feeding.
Honeycomb Grouper.
Cambodians sing to themselves quite often. They come down the path outside the bungalow singing. I noticed in the city too.
I went over to Sunset Rocks to watch the sunset and also to call Mum and Dad and wish them Bon Voyage. Very atmospheric spot to call long distance on a mobile from!
After supper went for a night swim! Talked Andrea into coming with me and we waded into the water in the moonlight, just outside my front door. The bio-luminescence was like fireflies around my fingers. Not quite Life of Pi but I'd come a long way to see it and the moon and stars more than made up for that!
I stayed in the left hammock watching the surf for a while. The moonlight lights the paths between the bungalows too. Beautiful end to a peaceful day.
