JB showing after effects of monkey attack.

Beach at Monkey Island. (Simians not visible, clearly lying in wait)

On Boxing Day, we went on a boat trip, snorkelling & swimming around the islands. (Well we had no turkey to curry).
First stop: Monkey Island. So named because it's inhabited solely by - that's right, monkeys! The next few minutes are a bit sketchy, but it appears that JB's very presence on the island enraged the beasts to such an extent that three of them ganged up and cornered him, giving him a serious clawing to the leg. They drew blood, so now its rabies shots ahoy for Johnny, or as he's now known, Mad Dog Bull.

Have yourself a merry little christmas......

Christmas day dawned bright & sunny. Much like every other day here. John had arranged with Santa to bring me some great prezzies, including a hat & scarf, though not stout ones like you're probably wearing. I gave him Moby Dick, but we're hoping that the ointment will clear it up soon.

Enjoying a pre-dinner G&T.
