We Had Arranged To Pick Up Slim Jim,

on our way to visit Mr. Tony,

 unknown to me the girls had all bought leopard skin look alike dresses,

 Dioshane all smiles,

 Sandio taking a picture of Diana taking a picture of him,

 Dioshane and Donna joined by Sandio and Mum,

 

 we picked up Slim Jim, but before we had driven a few miles the heavens opened up, Dioshane and Sandio in the back of the truck in the open got soaked,

 but the rain made Mr. Tony's garden look even lusher than it normally is,

 the garden as always looked immaculate,

 one of the dogs came out to say hello,

 everything just as it should be, Booie puts so much work into the garden and it shows,

 the rain had just about stopped as we arrived, barely a few drops landing in the pool,

 so we settled down for a few drinks,

 Diana taking a portrait of us,

 then it was time for a swim,

 Slim Jim thoughtfully had bought a pair of goggles and kindly gave them to Sandio,

 Slim Jim relaxing in the jacuzzi,

 then the family moved into it,

meanwhile Booie was preparing mountains of food,

 one of Booies helpers went out to the side garden,

 to cut down a branch with some fresh fruit on it,

 meanwhile Sandio chilled out on a float,

 then it was time to eat, tomato soup topped with cheese and basil leaves, 

 followed by spaghetti bolognese,

 which was enjoyed by all,

 before the next course three of Diana's family looked at some of the pictures,

 we settled down to brown rice with bar-b-qued chicken legs, marinated spare ribs and duck wraps,

 then back in the pool for a swim, splash,

 and a pose,

 Mr. Tony had bought a large ice cream for dessert,

 it was gone in a flash!

 all too soon the day was over, but before leaving we had a look at Mr. Tony's new truck, a 4 door Chevrolet Colorado, it looked great from the outside,

 and even better on the inside,

then it was time to load up the girls and make our way back to Slim Jim's so we could drop him home,

we then made our way to 388, I think we were supposed to go some where else, Diana keeps the social calender, but as most of the day was spent swimming it was decided to stay in and watch a movie or two as a few of us were tired out, so A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures was chosen, nice animation spoilt by a green farcical narration about man made global warming, after that the family retired for the evening, Diana and myself watched some more satellite television, the Pickers followed by a couple of Pawn Stars, so a big thank you to Mr. Tony and Booie for looking after us so well, with that we were off to bed.
