Another rainy day in paradise,not as bad as the last few days but plenty of heavy showers around. I needed to go and pick up my magic smarties so waited for a dry spell and dashed off. I could get the chemist to deliver free of course but that would be another excuse to stay indoors when I should be out and about.

It is my daughter Ellen's birthday on Saturday and we are having the normal family occasion get together at her house so I need to buy some beer to take and as it is cheaper here on the island I decided I would get that and a bottle of JD for the birthday girl at the same time as the meds and lug it over on Saturday. Ellen is my youngest child for those who don't know Stephen is the oldest he is 45 Ellen will be 43 on Saturday. It is scary to think off her that old,where did the years go? I clearly remember once thinking that people in their forties were old and past it. Doesn't time change your thinking on certain things?
