If heaven has chairs...
Today, whilst we were chilling out in our lazy dazy beach chairs (beautiful and amazing, uber-comfy bamboo circles of heaven) on our lazy dazy beach (powder-soft white sands akin to snow*; sparkling, crystal clear, still yet lapping waters) on our lazy dazy Koh Rong island (remote, practically uninhabited, always sunny**) someone was shining down upon me and was on my side.
Whilst savouring our lunch of eggs, rice and fruit we were joined by a big, unfriendly looking, nervy and hungry cockerel. He meant business. He started flapping about, showing us his spurs, giving it all that, whilst eyeing up our eggs, rice and fruit. Not being the most bird-loving gal at the best of times (dad, I still do not forgive you for joining me to the RSPB all those years – couldn’t you have signed me up for Amnesty International, or the Whales, or even the Pandas?) I freaked out a little itsy bit. I did all I could to deter the nasty beast – flicked some sand about with a look of mad further intent about my face, upped and moved my chair a few times, made sssssh-ing noises over and over again. But alas, the beast was not to be perturbed. So, I brought out the big guns. Will then started pissing himself. And just as he started laughing, “What? You really think wobbling your big thighs around at him is gonna…” At which point, Will wobbled about and then fell dramatically backwards onto the sand and out of his lazy dazy beautiful and amazing, uber-comfy bamboo circle of heaven. Ha.
PS: Thank you to everyone who contributed to The Lighthouse orphanage (blog post below). We are shopping tomorrow for rice, other food and items to take to them. They will be so grateful, as are we. Thanks so much xxx
* The sand here is also surprisingly similar to crumbly soft parmesan cheese. Bellisimo.
** Koh Rong is a leisurely two and a half hour boat ride from Sihanoukville, but is another world away. It currently has only 9 beach huts (2 more in construction) and one ‘restaurant’, and they have been here for less than a year. Visit now folks, before the development starts…
Lovely lovely Snowdrift Bay, Koh Rong
