It's pretty impressive how quickly the sea can go from green and calm to incredibly stormy and angry and how quickly the sky can go from blue and cloudless to very black and then start to absolutely bucket it down with torrential rain (and provide an amazing thunderstorm just for added drama). I'm quite glad that this storm has hit us whilst we're here and not at sea somewhere, I think that could have been pretty scary. In the last 12 hours the resort is suddenly covered in detritus where a couple of trees have been blown down and loads of palm fronds are littered about having been torn out. One of the outdoor showers by the pool was ripped out of its housing by the storm.....as I say, when nature does dramatic it can be pretty impressive.
But jeeeeeees we’re bloody bored of it now. Can somebody please switch the sun back on - thanks. This is especially important in light of the fact that I was clearly a bit careless with my seating position on the ferry and I now have one arm browner than the other. It simply won’t do.
Room with a view - finished. Lovely. Made me want to live in simpler times and be more ladylike.
Barrel Fever - David Sedaris. Finished. Utterly hilarious, loved it. Thanks Lou.

Good use of the word 'detritus'. I don't see it enough these days.
Very glad to hear that amongst the weather and massage excitement you're managing to go on the planned literary journey as well. Sedaris and Forster ... well I suppose they had one thing in common.
