Lovely holiday pics, Caerwynn! Did you have a good time?

Thank you, Kes..

Yes, it was wonderful, mari-rae. The jetlag is improving and Ijust hope the tan doesn't fade too quickly.

Any chance of a pizza with parma ham, artichokes, olives, anchovies (just a couple) and perhaps some mushrooms?

*opens a bottle of Barolo *

You don't get that from Domino Pizza?

Souffriere has an ominous name, but I would like to see it once.

It can't be bad if they serve you Italian Barolo

Pizza ... volcanoes ... Barolo

Just like being back in Sorrento



Up Pompeii

No we didn't go to Dominoes, I just took the photo as it amused me . They do deliver to the hotel though.

The Sulphur Springs are in the caldera of an active volcano, last errupted 200 years ago! I kept my fingers crossed that it wouldn't choose the week we were there to blow! The smell was ...um... interesting!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day (UK) to you too! Were the Sulfer Springs also hot springs, then? Your tan is gorgeous!! You must have had good weather.

The springs were spewing super heated mud, but apparently further away down the valley where the mud settles people rub it over themselves. All a bit too slimy and smelly for me!

The only drawback to islands covered with tropical rainforests is the rain so we did have some showers and a couple of days when the sea was too rough to swim in, which forced us to sit drinking rum punches and watching out for .

*gives the slumbering green figure a big and tucks her under a nice green rug with a soft green pillow*

*Moves the hatstand over to the couch, hangs a full bucket-o-tini on one of the hooks, and improvises an IV drip.*

Welcome back, Pan. Great to see ya!

...*dreaming that Antonio Banderas & George Clooney are still fighting over her...she mubbles...*form a line, form a liiii ~~~~~
...*hopes someone stops the olive in the IV before it hits somethin' important...spits out a bit of green shag rug...smiles...drifts deeply off even though she'd rather be up & dancing...*

*Tops up the bucket*

*Grumpily surveys the mess over her nice clean floor.*



Look, now there are everywhere and all these s in here too.

*Spies a quick movement on the hearth.* LOOK OUT! There's a leprechaun!!!

...*at the sound of "leprechaun" Pandora springs to her feet and begins running around the Pub...crashing into something hard that moves...*
M-Rae!! Great ta' see ya'! Get the hell outta' my way, I've

Hey! They may know somethin' "we" don't.
Anyone smell propane?

*climbs onto the bar to avoid the hubbub*

Hey Pan!

*hides her bucket-o-tini and keeps an eye on Manolito*

Propane?
Are you hinting I should quit smoking?

it would certainly be wise when you are in the vicinity of Pan, Hati

*Surveys the wreckage... Goes over to Hypatia and dips into the bucket o'tinis *

Thanks, Hypatia..
