The Chinal Pearl Inn part 8

Morning all it is a better day limping around a bit.;)

Great news CG

We were supposed to have a free day. Then we were woken at 0400 hours to sirens going. It was a full scale emergency drill with us under mock chemical attack. Good exercise and very real. Took over 12 hours but we passed!
 
Robyn those are the best drills the ones you were no expecting, a true test.;)

It was so realistic CG, loud explosion noises, mock gas, gunfire, and we were plunged into darkness, they turned the power off. Had to find our NCB Suites and put them on by touch. I bet you’ve had similar exercises.
 
Perhaps once or twice Robyn.;)

So how did it go? didi you get a well done?

Yes we got praised for the way we handled it and Sal & I ‘captured’ the senior officers.

We get official results Tuesday (Monday is a public holiday in the UK). So Sal and I are off the coast.

Hey, all. Not sure how long I'm here, just stopping by. Hope all are well. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better CG.

We WILL be on your side, we’re NATO. Yes we lost our day but it’s give and take and we are treated fair. Thunder storms rolling round tonight. Do I pack swim wear?

I’m beginning to believe Robyn really IS Supergirl! She worked out where the attack was coming from and then took it. The test was to see if anyone had the guts to storm the senior HQ and she led the charge. Mark my words - she is set for great things. Soon, very soon I’ll be calling her Ma’m.
 
We’re proud of you too CG. ... now thunderstorms forecast for the coast tomorrow so ... do we pack our swimming costumes?

Well I'm sure they take up hardly any space (wheeze, whimper) so yes, please do.
 
Hey Uggg, things quietened down work wise?

No, but its weekend and I've turned my phone off. I've got a couple of weeks of crazy mad busy left then things will go back to normal for another five years.

so far today I've taken a leasurely scooter ride into the market. Bought a coffee and drunk it at the beach, Been to the library to pick up some books and repotted my pineapples. Now I'm halfway through Gin number two. The day is looking good.

and tomorrow I'm going sailing:).

Uggg:rose:

Now there you go, sounds good to me :) What ya reading?

I'm reading "The Mountain Shadow" by Gregory David Roberts. It is the sequel to the most beautifully written first 'person book' I have ever read. 'Shantaram'.

I recommend "Shantaram" to anyone who has not read it. I'm an avid reader and have consumed books one after the other for 20 years and nothing has impressed me (in the fiction field) quite like this book.

You need to write his blurbs :) I'm doing some work that I need to read a fair bit of poetry for at the moment so that and associated things is most of my reading of late.

I like poems... What poems are you reading? Samuel Taylor Coleridge is my favorite poet. But also W.B. Yeats, William Wordsworth and Robert Louis Stevenson. :D
 
I read a lot of modern stuff. Slightly older (early 20th c), my favourite is Edward Thomas. Modern ones include Sinead Morrissey. Michael Donaghy and too many to mention :)
