The dumps on a Tropical Island

TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS | Saturday, 9 Feb 2008 | Views [782]

I am in the midst of taking a break. Work has been a little hectic and customers demanding and my patience has thinned to invisible so today is day 2 of 5. You find me sat on my decking on a very sunny day, I'm facing the ocean and it's the blue you ... Read more >

Dealing with Joe Public has always been part of my day but never quite as it is here.  Maybe it's the American mentality that makes it so much more of a challenge, I'm not overly sure. I've been asked some seriously odd questions, the most recent was ... Read more >
