Provisioning Day


Georgetown – 6 miles in dinghy, 3 kilometres walked

It was an uneventful day in Georgetown, but by evening we had filled the water tanks, bought groceries, visited the excellent library in town, had coffee and banana bread at the local café, went for a walk around Victoria Lake, and made a delicious salami/basil/onion/green pepper pizza for dinner. The winds had slackened and the weather had improved, but we still had minor episodes of rain throughout the day.


It's been such a pleasure having Stella with us. As our kids reach adulthood we know the time we get to spend with them is likely to become more limited, so we appreciate these moments now more than ever. Since Anna left (she arrived home no problem..except the Arctic temperatures which lashed her with a nasty cold as soon as she touched down), Stella is now just stuck with us so we will have even more hours with her. I hope she can put up with us.


We spoke to Magnus on the phone yesterday from Edinburgh. He is doing so well and just loving the city. He has eight other flatmates, all foreigners from a host of different countries including Greece, Australia, the US, Canada, maybe one more. Each of them has their own private bedroom but they share a common kitchen and living room so end up spending lots of time together. He got his class schedule and discovered he only has classes Monday to Wednesday, giving him regular four day weekends so he’s been eagerly looking up Ryan Air flights to locations across Europe. It’s going to be tough on his budget, but we are excited for him to do some cool trips in Europe…when he’s not busy with essays, exams, and papers that is.
