18.2.14 Tuesday Independence Day



There are big celebrations today for the 49th Independence Day at the stadium, televised and on the radio.  Alll the schools, many businesses and Government offices are closed.  Sheila and Fiona decided to walk to Kololi on the beach whilst we went to the storeroom to sort out things for our visit to Kaur later in the week.
We all met for lunch at Paradiso, where we found that Fiona had been swept off her feet by a huge wave on the beach, had fallen into the sea and was completely covered apart from her arm which was holding her bag safe above the water!!  Sheila had waded in to help her and they had both been soaked through, Fiona totally and Sheila from the waist down!   Fortunately the hot weather helped to dry them, and Fiona had stopped at a local shop and bought some new trousers to wear.  We were all helpless laughing at the thought of this sight and were sorry we didn't have a photo!  Lunch over, we returned home and spent the afternoon in the garden before going to the quiz.  Our winning streak continues, we won again and added more money to the charity pot!
