What a glorious day!
Having breakfast, we tried one of the Mango's Raul had given us from the garden. It was absolutely delicious ! Clive then decided we had to get our own 'picker'? Off we went to the hardwear store. Armed with picker and metal rod and jubilee bands we set off to make our picker even longer, we could then get the best mango's from the top of the tree! We had a little set back, we couldn't get it to extend. We were going to have to go back with it tomorrow, as we had already decided to have a day at the beach.
I packed a quick picnic but Clive thought we could nip to the supermarket for fried chicken. Well, as usual we came out with a picnic bag filled to feed you all! Cherries, crisps, grapes,,chicken, bread rolls and finally he got a filled roll for us aswell. You wouldn't think it, but he actually has a small appetite! I knew this was going to feed us for days, as he also wastes nothing.
We went to Dania Beach, it was glorious. Set ourselves in a shady spot near the pier. It was packed with lots of people. Families, youths and lots of people with boats fishing. We had a lovely day. Two cruise liners set sail around 5.30pm, we then had cruise envy! One off to the Bahamas and one to the Caribbean. It started to get very dark, the sky was looking black and threatening. I suggested we get home, it looked like a thunder storm coming our way! We had only just things in the car and the lightening started. It was so close to us. I was glad we got home and not too wet.
We actually finished finished our book, The Moonstone. It was slightly disappointing as neither of us guessed correctly. It was a mammoth task to read but I think we will kind of miss it!
Looking forward to reaping our own mango harvest tomorrow!
