• Chores Weekend

    January 28, 2024 in Antigua and Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    It’s the weekend and Saturday I worked half day in my computer and then helped Brian with the chain (scraping & painting it). I took a long shower at the start of the day, and washed my hair (always a production requiring lots of water) - no hot water in the work yard shower, but I made do. Saturday evening showered on the boat, put on our long pants and shirts, not to be eaten by bugs, and went to the Curry House. It was a beautiful Indian meal! Sunday we decided to start stripping the bow sprit and got two layers of primer on before moving to clean the bottom of the dingy and dissecting the leak issue with the wash down pump (again).
    In the evening we went to the fruit stand again and got interesting things to try (along with favorites like bananas), chocolate fruit, custard apple and bread fruit. We also bought okra which I was excited to have with our salmon later in the evening. Then to Epicurean grocery to get more food. We have defrosted the main freezer and are using the top down one at the moment, but we didn’t buy meat so not much to freeze.
    Back home an exhausted, we ate, showered, and I fell asleep while Brian was reading Shakespeare. Chris will be at the boat at 8:30am and we still have prep to do on the windows before he arrives.
