La Cucaracha

Location, Barbados. Weather, thunderstorms. Today has been perhaps the dullest of the visit home so far. I have also discovered that if you sit on the dining chairs in shorts for a prolonged perios of time, your legs seem to bond with the chair, and rip away when you stand up. Ouch!

I have come on this extended trip to help my parents put the house back together after they renovated the bottom floor. The place is literally a construction site! I cant even sleep in my room because it has the entire contents of the kitchen inside of it. Instead I am sleeping on a futon in the tv room that everyone is living in. it is getting better though, as we slowly move things down, no furniture except the dining table and chairs though.

last night, while plugging in my phone charger, a nasty little black cockroach leapt from its hiding place on the table, and scurries across my wrist. it. was. HORRIFIC. I could feel its little body on my arm long after we sprayed half a can of baygon in the immediate area to exterminate it. My mother then found it funny to tickle my feet while i was sleeping to freak me out. Thanks mummy.
