Evening Class — Adobe Illustrator
Last week I started an Adobe Illustrator evening class at the University of the West Indies in Barbados. I saw an advert in our local newspaper and without too much pondering — I signed up!
My first class was on Thursday and boy did I have the first-day-of-school jitters... but I was super excited. After finally finding a place to park I gathered up my notepad, new pen and a map of the campus, and strutted around looking for my classroom.
I settled into class, found an empty seat next to two very nice people and class begun.
So far so great!
I didn't take my camera — I didn't want to appear to be too keen... hence no photo :(

Dinner at Cin Cin
Next month is my mum's fabulous fiftieth birthday but because of school my brother will miss it.
So as an early celebration, the four of us went to Cin Cin by the Sea restaurant.
It was incredible — the atmosphere, the food, the service, the company, the Prosecco — yum yum yum!

Flying Fish for dinner
Flying fish is a popular Barbadian dish but recently it has been very scarce/very pricey at the local Fish Markets.
On Friday night, we crumpled under the pressure, bought some of our national fish and indulged.
My dad was the chef that evening and made perfectly seasoned, breaded, pan-fried, juicy flying fish fillets. It was a lovely meal.

Taking the dogs to the East Coast
We planned to go on a boat yesterday — but unfortunately that didn't work out.
So instead we packed up the car with a well stocked cooler (complete with home-made rum punch) and our two dogs and headed to the East Coast of the island.
We took the dogs for a walk, a couple swims (this traumatized them both) and then we sat back and enjoyed the scenery while they napped.
Great way to spend a Sunday!
