Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
go to REI, buy [link] and the needed supplies to make this work. Make ice cream at the beach (will involve rolling the ball back and forth to each other). Then eat said ice cream together! Wheee! Yum. Nothing says bonding like making something together. And how cool is it to make ice cream at the beach!?!
Another thought is buy two of these: [link] And fly some kites together. If they take a dive into the big drink, no big whoop, they are $5.
Just some ideas.
OMG, how much do I want an icecream ball? Lots lots lots lots lots!
Gronk. I'm up and dressed and even semi-awake. The electrician is supposed to be here soon to fix some things in the apartment. I hope he shows up on time, because then I have to run around finishing up all of my trip errands.
We had Victor over for dinner and Trivial Pursuit last night which was much fun. This apartment is so much better for entertainment; we should really do it more often.
Have fun at the beach, sj!
Thanks, vw.
The electrician is here. He had to shut off the electricity. Luckily, I still have the cellphone.

I bet your students would be interested, too.
I wonder if they are easily available in your neck of the planet.
I searched for the term "Ice Cream Ball" and found them for as little as $20 in the US.

Me too!

I'm going to go with a no.
However, my friend is visiting from the UK in 2 weeks' time. If I can find them in the UK, it might be doable...
Meanwhile, this evening my friend Steve (my fellow geek at school, who's going to be leaving Thailand with his wife & awesome daughter in a couple of weeks to take up a post in the Philippines, sadly) and his lovely wife & daughter took me out for dinner, to say thank you for teaching said daughter. (Who is an absolute DOLL. And Steve's busily training her up to be a geek. A pretty, girly, Barbie-loving, sporty kind of geek. She's a big Doctor Who fan now, thanks to me, and he's raising her on Star Wars and all that malarky. It's v. cute.) Anyway, in addition to a TOTALLY SCRUMPTIOUS Thai dinner in a fab little village-style restaurant with Thai band & dancers, my evening included my first introduction to the Wii.
...yeah. I know what I'm getting myself for my birthday now, and it's NOT an iPhone after all. This is a much better idea.
The electricians are still here. I don't really want to pack while they're here. I'm paranoid like that.
Oh, yeah. I totally get that, sj.
I'm out at the house where I'm house sitting. I can't wait to jump in the pool! Although, four dogs are A LOT of dogs together. Fortunately, one of them is going home on Thursday. Three will be more manageable...especially since it's those three that know each other really well.
They just left! They were here for four hours, but they fixed everything that needed fixing, so I'm not going to complain.
