Saturday 27/08

Nothing happened until 3am.  There was no sign of life.

At 3 we took a tram and then a bus to Stanley.  We walked through a tat market and down onto the beach where we met some people Lloyd knows and some he didn't.  We sent keen minions to go and buy meat and the others went for a swim in the sea.  Probably should have taken some trunks - spent the rest of the day pretty wet.

The water was warm, we spent about half an hour out there, it was easy to more or less just float, surrounded by a view of several islands and more huge ships.  The swim finished when we saw the bbq was going.  We had one of the four on the beach, made out of concrete and surrounded by concrete seats.

We spent quite a while eating tough but delicious lamb and studiously avoiding the chicken.  Wings.  Some of the people there were not in banking or software, we had a beer or two and swam again in the evening.  We got a bus home and found that it had somehow been quite a tiring day.  Perhaps it was the night before that was tiring, but I slept well.
