Many thanks for reminding me!

What should we be wearing while working on the island ? And how about at night ?

Are there any vampires?

Garlic and wooden stakes keep the big ones away, but for the tiny ones you need DEET and nets.

I need a big handsome vampire to suck the tiny devils out of me but have never met any so far. Everyone stays or hides away from me.

An exorcism needs strong medicine, i usually use Captain Morgan rum:cool:, which seems appropriate on a tropical island, and as i will need lots of heat to sweat the little devils out:eek: i need a big fire, so we can have toasted marshmallows.
Are you any good at the drums, you can beat a tempo for the beating bit:biggrin:

I have 5 acres with lots of fallen branches from this winter's storms so I've got the firewood covered. :) Let's get this show on the road!

It is an honour. (The 'u' is especially for you.)
I once used to drink a cocktail they called Shark: white rum, lemon juice, grenadine syrup and soda on crushed ice.

You are not allowed to eat during the exorcism.:frown: only when the evil spirits has been driven out of you.
Then you can join in on the celebration of rum and pork and geto0)

We will all wear binikis and dance around the fire near the beach singing this lovely song at night, won't we ?

Down the bay where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
...

I love that song, i had to leave a girl in Germany and i was sad for many a day, as for all running around in bikinis i think i will stay with shorts:biggrin:
Dancing around the fire is obligatory:wink:.
