Hey Tic, I found a Jamaican radio station on the net and it's FREE!!!!!! That's what I'm talking about.
Here's the link to HITZ 92 FM.. http://radiohitz92fm.com/
Oh you know how I love a freebie thanks for that and hey clarity nice to see you here!
I still do not have full access to my own internet and not for another up to ten days this is really annoying I had planned to really get into my trip report and to be able to converse with everyone on my return to help me settle back in gently but this is just so annoying and you know I am the absolute worst around here for hating on people who leave a week before posting their next little update that gets soooo annoying so I do not want to put myself on that pile and have paid seperately to try and get online for a few hours but it keeps kicking me off can you say RIP OFF LOL
Anyway on with the show.
I thought this morning would be very easy, (ha think again)
I had planned for us all to have breakfast and then go out as we had a few things we really needed to do.
I had woken up a little before morning praise as the local neighbourhood psychotic dogs were up and ready and roaring to go.
There is a pack of about ten dogs that live behind and they are absolutely nuts every few hours they will bark like crazy all ten of them,They sound like a gone wrong dogs choir.I could not live with the psychotic dog noise every day.Just one dog making a growling noise near my home sends my mouth in to overdrive usually.Everyone near my house back home knows to keep them doggies quiet BEFORE I DO!
So after the psychotic dogs choir and the cockerel and the cats usual fight then morning praise I hear my father in law speaking on the phone thanking Jesus for a beautiful day and waking him up so he can walk and talk and I thought ahhh THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.How lovely is it to wake up and give thanks and be so positive?
Why can’t everyone get up and be nice like that?
Just such a nice positive thought and thing to say so early in the morning.It was nice to hear.
I had some laundry to do and I knew we had a kitchen plumbing issue to deal with so I took it to the laundry room thinking that is the correct place everything will be fine.I asked first.Yes correct place everythings good.So I am there washing my clothes by hand singing in my head, I finished, pulled out the plug them BAM OH NOOOOOOOOO ----FLOOD flooding the whole room this is INSIDE the family home BIG FLOOD,GUSHING FLOOD.. with bags of stored items omg please don’t let them be expensive or treasured items omg so I had the kitten swinging from my pj’s (you know I don’tDO pets) the big cat in and out of my legs wanting food the dog was staring atme the cat food was being flooded across the floor and I just thought OMG then screamed for my HUSBANDDDD HELP
Everyone came running in I felt so bad.It was not my fault though there was a blockage so we cleaned it up (which took forever omgggg hours worth of cleaning) so now the sink and the laundryroom had a fault so we had to wash the dishes outdoors.Everybody is getting ready now to go into town see if we can buy something for this problem, perhaps it just needs a dissolvent to get rid of grease or something HOPEFULLY.
My great nephew (he is great but he really is actually my great nephew lol) aged 14 had me cracking up with laughter he started singing a tune, he usually has the sweetest gentlest voice and he is very well behaved and well mannered and respectful and does as he is told and helps all of his family but he started singing a tune, one I really like as it happens in the bathroom so his great grandmother said “why you making so much noise in my house?” so he came walking smoothly past and said sweetly it’s just a likkle tune I had in my head grandma its just my little singing voice you can hear!
he said it so sweetly with a big smile me and his grandma were laughing in the kitchen as it was his great grandmothers house we were in. He is funny.He also said he was going to the park yet when I went to catch up with him he was not there, he is 14 years old and I saw him coming down the lane laughing with food in his mouth LOL he is a funny little lovable character.
Going out for the day shortly some family things to do, some personal things to do and then of course EATING to do LOL maybe go KFC ormothers with the family or to a cook shop.Need to get my sis in law a day off from that kitchen.
They leave here Saturday as my nephew starts school again on Monday and we are having a sleepover at my nieces house.
Our neice now lives with her partner 4 children and her soonto be baby, I hear she has a bigger house now so it should be fun to stay over and finally have our pj party and listen to some music and have some nice food.
I was supposed to have a pj party with a boardie called tawnee at seastar but as she was arriving I was pretty much leaving there so it only left one night we could have done it,I was looking forward to it too but another boardie came and surprised me and wanted me to show her somewhere as it was her first night and she was alone so I had to miss the pj party plans.That is the only time I let anyone down though I never usually cancel on a plan but we had not arranged a definate day and tawnee was fine she had her hubby and all the seastar crew and I really liked her thought she could be a nice daytimepartier for future trips and we seemed to have fun the VERY short time we gottogether but then she later said I was talking through two sides of my mouth! Which I have never done nor never will.Nor do I have two faces.I either smile and mean it or just don’t.I am either a genuine friend or no friend there is no inbetween or running from onepack to another why do females create packs?I am a floater and I float to whatever floats my boat LOL.I am usually found around NICE people and I don’t mix very well with people with more than one face because it is something I do not nor want to understand, with so much real drama going on in the world and in all of our personal lives I will never nor ever want to understand why someone can take the time bother and effort to put on a fake friend face,especially on holiday It is a total waste of energy (and money)and shoot me if you ever hear me being a fake friend which I know will NEVER happen.Jamaicans will usually tell you to your face there and then on the spot about any issues and I like that as that is how I am myself.As long as everything is dealt with nicely and things get resolved that’s great.Makes for an easy life and better understanding ,life is a learning curve and not many people are psychic so if something is not right just say so.
I speak from one side , one hole and I prefer not to use the sometimes overused by some--blowhole LOL.I do actually have two faces though, actually make that three I have this one>:D THIS ONE>;) AND THIS ONE>:p LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO ACTUALLY GIVE A @@@@ about anyone's face who does not fall into the above 3 categories! unless of course they have real stuff like deaths and such going on.One mouth one hole one face ONE LOVE LOL
So I missed that pj party which I really wanted to do so I will get chance tomorrow night to do it with the family.Even washed my pink fluffy dressing gown too just incase it gets too chilly!
I am looking forward to checking out the bass speaker at the home yay! And the musicians from Negril have given me a few cds which I will check out.
Saw one of the neighbours earlier she stopped to say mawning, she was jogging at that time of the morning wow! Things work from EARLY out here.Jogging, visiting, shopping, laundry, praises, animal tending, gardening everything and all before 9am!
I am on animal noise overload, I heard a cockerel , the psycho dog pack choir the cats hanging from my leg making noise , the crickets,tree frogs, birds, cows , goats and then as I am hanging out my laundry WHACK straight into what felt like a tarantulas web LOL it is like arachnophobia!
To some of you my comments may seem extreme but some may know where I am coming from, I am a city girl who does not have any pets or visit anyone with pets! If Misti is still reading this your two cute fashion diva dogs are excused and are allowed lol too cute!.
I live in a quiet house in a quiet street a lot of silence and space, my own space for my own things (I have been trying hard to cope this trip all being cooped up in one room with ten pieces of luggage never being able to find a thing of mine it has been a bit tricky at times with everyone under each others feet and my belongings being touched and moved)
At home NOBODY touches my things and I like my personal time to shower, get dressed put on make up .I do not even think I have blow dried my hair once since being here!
So all of these animal noises although not new to me as we visit here all the time, each time it is a new experience and you forget until you arrive again and are immersed back into it.
I Love zoos and farms and things like that but they have opening hours and you leave when you are done.I keep saying I would like to live in Jamaica but I would have to have some sort of sound insulation I think because the psycho dogs choir is not really my cup of MILO LOL
My husband spoke with an English family who are building abeautiful home here just across the street, it is almost finished it is alovely mansion type building a mansion by my standards anyway compared to backhome.They slept there for the first night lastnight, I wish I was at thatstage.
Oh I forgot to tell you it must have been FATE that saved me2 nights ago when I heard the big bass soundsystem playing in the town..Iusually follow the drum beat and want to go to every party.I do not know why Iwas not nagging to go but something made me not go.I just went with gutinstinct I guess.
Next morning I was told there was a shoot out there think 4people were involved, and I was told that after Christmas and the politicsthings tensions were still running high.Most people were wearing orange inNegril but down here most people wanted to vote green it seems and it seemspeople were wearing green making people think there was a lot of green votersbut then they voted orange.I do not know any facts at all, That is just hearsay, just telling you what I heard.
So I am so glad I did not go to the party.
I cannot believe I missed Roots bamboo on my final night inNegril, before the family went to coral seas I remembered it was Monday rootsbamboo night, the free entry night and we had only made 2 Wednesday night rootsbamboo evenings which used to be free but now you pay in and it was not up tomuch so I thought I must remember to try the Monday night roots bamboo.
So at coral seas someone said they are going to bourbonbeach and although I could hear the soundsystem playing a good tune I was tiredand did not want to go to bourbon beach.Totally forgetting it was ROOTS BAMBOOnight
So next morning somebody tells me roots bamboo was packedand was playing good music and where was I?
Omg my last night and I FORGOT about the party how did thathappen? So I feel like I missed out on that one because I never got to try itand I kept thinking I would perhaps go there before I went out but someonementioning it being bourbon beach night threw me off track and I forgotbooooooo so it looks like I have saved that for next time.Gutted I missed myfinal party booooooo
I want to come back today for popcaan and yellowmanboooooooo hoooooooo.If I had money I would be dangerous lol.I would call for myprivate helicopter to come pick me up and bring my fave party crew!
I am missing Negril already and it is hard being so closeyet being so far. There is no way on this earth I can get any further cashinjections though so if I was to get there I am not sure how. I think I need tohold that thought until next time before hubby strangles me or something! If itwas me I would just have a patty food day and jump in a route cab yes sirrrrrpatty , rum and route taxi.Life is as easy as you make it.When you only haveyourself to worry about.I cannot bear the thought of going home to no music,Werecently set up some bass speakers in the lounge just a week before we arrivedhere so I will have to work on getting some really good music to play because Icannot bear to think about the silence of the English house with nothing to dobut watch the cold rain dropping on the window pane looking up at the planesflying through the sky flying to the land I LOVE WITHOUT ME triple boo hoo
I know it will be quite a bad Jamaica withdrawal this timemade worse by all the cash I will have to pay back but made better by all ofthe fantastic beautiful memories and moments that I will remember forever sowhile the bills pile sky high and the rain hits the window hard at home atleast I will still have my memories to fall back on which is a lot better thanif I had not come at all and had just spent the winter staring out of thatmiserable cold window with only thoughts of what IF I went to Jamaica What ifwhat if??.
I hopped on that plane to see what WILL be , not what if!
And I have enjoyed every second of it, apart from hubbyswhining and complaining but that follows me around the world and always has andprobably always will!
