Part LXXXIII
Our beautiful islands are renowned for the sun-drenched, white sand beaches, gentle breezes and blue skies. Right? Well, my friends, last week was the exception. 40-mile-an-hour winds, black clouds and lightning and thunder, lots of lightning and thunder. Among the many bolts of lightning, one struck just out of my window, sending me into orbit and my loved laptop into oblivion. It is now in Southern California being tenderly brought back among the living, I hope. All this means no prattle this month. Without my trusted laptop, I am speechless. Sorry. We will be cack in contact next month, okay?
