Whilst in the Dominican Republic we met a fantastic couple who had some of the most bizarre stories to tell. Tales of long distance relationships, living life out of Airport’s and a love for technology culminating in a home media server.

Never again will I be able to use the term “Gaydar” and have it mean “to sense a homosexual” as Gaydar is in fact the friends reunited of the same sex relationship world. I’m always able to put my foot right in it. I have also been enlightened to the fact that a Sauna doesn’t necessarily have to be attached to a gym. In fact, said Sauna can be a male only arrangement.

Whilst lying by the pool one morning sipping on the fourth Pina Colada of the morning Russell started to describe “Cat mode”.

You see without a schedule a cat will get up (when it feels like it) have a walk round, maybe a bite to eat, find a warm spot and a sun beam, sleep, maybe have a wash, watch the world go by, sleep some more and change positions as the sun moves. Snack. Repeat.

I have been in Cat mode all day. Up early, quick wonder around, Banana Smoothie, back to bed for a bit, watch the boxing on SKY+, more sleep, shower. Sleep, TV, Chinese food, lie down. Repeat.
