3 sleeps on....

Yes, today is Wednesday!
Monday we woke to rain. Always nice when the temps previously have been in the mid 90's. It does lower the generaly feeling of heat by about 10 degrees! most welcome.
We spent the morning working our butts off. Waz still had rats and mice to attend to on the flydeck and I had two more curtains to take up. We were exhausted by the humidity around lunch time so decided to incorporate lunch out with going and finding bits and pieces (usually hardware things). we have previously been to Las Haciendas next to the Randalls Supermarket on South Shore Blvd. We like their reasonably authentic mexican food. We settled for something different to the normal Chicken Enchaladas, and I managed to get Waz to try a Tamale..pork. This arrived with refried beans and a side of guacamole and some mex. rice. I went for the quesadilla..chicken, of course which came with rice and Guacamole and sour cream. Waz decided her will go back to the enchiladas, thank you.
For a few days Waz had been showing me what we thought was a mole which appeared to be coming off...and it didnt look at all healthy...soo after lunch we went looking for a General Practition. Of course, here, they close for lunch from 12-1...we waited till they arrived back at the office and once the nurse  had done all the basics of blood pressure (fantastic) weight ( he has lost 4lbs!!!) temperature (perfect), we were left to wait 30 mins for the Doc. He took one look and made some interesting suggestions as to how we could remove this 'tag' (not a mole) that he said was healthy looking, but which Waz kept catching on things when he was upside down in the boat, somewhere.
One of the suggestions involved tying a piece of thread around it...very tight, and waiting for it to drop off. Hmmm....not in this environment, thanks. So...we are off there again in a few minutes to have it surgically removed. not brain surgery, but he might need to keep a plaster on it for a few days.


Of course I had to take a photo inside the examination room...that's Waz's knee on the left:)
 
 
Off to do the rats and mice shopping and back to the boat. We took about 4 hours to get everything we wanted, with Waz and I various sitting in the car in the aircon, while the other went looking for the required part.
Went for a long walk after dinner around to the fuel dock...Somewhere I have a photo of the fuel dock...but it has gone AWOL!
