Monday 25 April What a lovely surprise

Rachel, Scarlet, Derek & Ethan
A funny thing happened when I was at the Marina office today. There was a tap on the door, I turned around and saw the face of an old friend from London days. I know Rachel &; Derek from my former life in London. They now live in HK with their two young children and are in NZ to visit Rachie's family for her birthday.
Big kid, little kid
We haven't seen them since we started cruising two and a half years ago so there was some catching up, questions about their new life and our new life. Unfortunately it poured all day so Scarlet and Ethan had to be cooped up in the boat. We did take them to the children's partk which gave David and I the perfect excuse to try out one of the rides, a rotating platform like a gyroscope with perpetual motion. What a hoot but it made you feel giddy very quickly. Perhaps you need to be a child to be immune.
Enthralled with Tom & Jerry
I was thrilled they'd come to see us and had time to stay to dinner too. Here's a rare picture of David with children. He'd set up the computer for them to watch cartoons and became engrossed himself. Who needs real children when you 've got a David? Growing older is inevitable. Acting your age is optional.
