FISH AND CHIPS, MASSAGE AND HOLI

Those antibiotics are working wonders and we are back on solid food again. Fish and chips on the beach. Just like Hayling Island (almost).

Yvonne and I walked along the beach this morning at about 7:30 which is the coolest part of the day and I was still not feeling well so we stopped off at this little breakfast place in the village and sank a pint of fresh orange juice which brought me back to life. Yvonne had poached eggs and coffee. We will be going there again.

We have chatted to a variety of travellers staying here in the last couple of days. Each one a fascinating story. Most of them come here every year and many for two or three months. Some travel for two months then rest here. Others just stay here. Saves them fuel bills back home. Especially in Norway with a high cost of living.  A few have settled here all year but tend to go away for at least some of the monsoon season.

A blogger, Michael, has been here and said it is tempting, but stay here too long and your life would just slip away. You get that feeling a bit sometimes. I would need a project. Writing a book or something.

Anyway. Moira has her massage booked for 10:30 tomorrow morning. Let's see if Sunil can do something about the dodgy shoulder she has had for ages.

Yvonne's ankle has also frozen. It is one of the things on the list of side effects of our antibiotics so it could be a choice of either the ankle or back on the bog for another few days. Tough decision!

Tomorrow is our last full day here and it is the Holi festival when people throw coloured power at each other. Must remember to wear old clothes when we go to breakfast in the morning!
