Having a good weekend.
Small incident with the coffee maker – I could have sworn it was the sort that you put on the stove.
Turns out it was somewhat more of an electric version, with lots of plastic underneath. Highly flammable plastic…

Very good.
Loved seeing it with Lucy and Hayley.
Deplete or Develop
I really liked this one on the Energy Bulletin
It makes a point – that when we are referring to finite resources, when we develop them we are actually depleting them.
Somehow, “develop” does sound better.

Holiday in Mauritius
The view down onto the resort, seen in the distance just behind coconut Island.
Slideshow now set up – one week in “Paradis”.
I guess I’ll learn to deal with all the fossil fuel we burnt to get there and back.

Another day in paradise
Just another day here in paradise.
Windsurfing in the morning with Lucy and Hayley, then a leisurely lunch.
Gym in the afternoon whilst the girls went to the spa.
All good.
One Day done.
Well, its been a long trip.
The flight overnight to Mauritius was pretty tiring – not much sleep. Everyone crashed sometime during the day that followed. We all missed lunch, and were pretty starving by the time we got to dinner.
Which was pretty fabulous – the indian restaurant really was mixed cusine with an emphasis on indian. The buffet meant that the kids all went crazy on the desserts.
The actual resort is pretty impressive. I’ve taken some (pre-sunrise) photos from the balcony, looking on to the ocean plus back into the room.
Now to attempt to windsurf today – that should be fun 🙂
