Gem of the week

Brand spankin' new beach!

At least to me, it is. My husband took me to this beach on Saturday - didn't know it even existed on our fair isle until yesterday. Almost slid off the single-lane, curvy, hilly road getting there, but it was well worth it.

Hot as fricken' blazes though. Didn't know how the pix would turn out because I was so blinded by the sunlight on the sand.

But overall, pretty darn close to paradise. In fact, that's what it's called: Paradise Beach.

Someone got here first, darnit!

Our little friend, a monitor lizard, called "hia" in Thai.

My new office ... I wish!
