The next decade....what's in store?

So Christmas Day wasn't so bad afterall

It was shaping up to be a miserable Christmas Day, but then on Christmas Eve I got an invitation to lunch. That I went to, after I had cooked my nice Ackee & Saltfish, Boiled Yam (no salt) and Fried Plantain.

After lunch (left there about 5:30pm), I went next door to meet the neighbours (read the previous entries). I learnt Knock Rummy - a card game - and then I will teach them Kalooki one day....and then they'll be hooked.

So all in all (a saying made famous by West Indian cricketers!), it was a great day.

Then this morning, I stepped outside to find half of a dead rat's body, with its innards protruding, lying there. Maybe it was the neighbour's dog who left it there as a present, to say "welcome matey". As I have no man, I had to take it up myself. I didn't barf, luckily.
