Hello Admiral, My apologies, I have been in the sun all day (It was great Hubby made baby peri peri chickens and all I had to do was chips and a salad) The island is full of tropical fruit, could make a fruit salad for brunch and if Boris and I get up real early we could go fishing and have baked fish in Banana leaves. Boris is a very good fisherman as long as I let him eat first. Then he brings the fish to me without a scratch on them. FAT LADY, COOK

Oh Lindy: that peri peri chicken sounds good, perhaps you'd let me have the recipe some time. Brunch sounds good, looking forward to that. Going to turn in now. See you tomorrow.

I have been very busy. Found an axe that someone had left laying about. Boris now has a kennel, I have a lovely big lean to thingy. My building skills arnt up to much yet, but it is warm and dry. Garden is to the rear and side of lean to, so is handy for my veg and stuff. Am now working on a kitchen for Lindy. Maggie

BRUNCH MENU FRUIT SALAD BAKED FISH IN BANANA LEAVES Sorry, but that's all I could come up with. Where is that girl Sassy? I bet she went off on her own and got lost..I suppose I had better take a walk around the Island and look for that "idiot" girl.. Why her mother let her out of the house I shall never know....sigh.. Some mother's children mutter! mumble...

Good morning i'm knackered after helping Black widow erect all these shelters, i spent the night laying out an S O S signal with rocks on the beach incase any search planes are looking for us, got lots of blisters and aching back, had a good long sleep though. Going to have a wander to see who's about and try to get something to eat. David

Sat on beach with feet in surf, wave's lapping gently over them. Munching on baked fish, with coconut juice and banana's for afters. Maggie

I'm the vet, I managed to get a few animals on the lifeboat. Dogs, cats, one goat, one gerbil and a couple of parrots. Jo.

Hello Lindy Fat Cook, is Brunch nearly ready? Joanne, did you find all the animals that were on the Cruise? There were some quite friendly dogs that belonged to some of the passengers. David, that was a brilliant idea! I've been and looked at the S.O.S., I'm sure they will get seen. So, could you recruit some people to mark out a landing runway, if a small plane sees the signal, they will need a clear area to come down on to. Talk to you later.

David

David Report 29 Aug 2004 15:07

Hi Dorothy If you noticed just beyond the area were i laid out the S O S there is a large clearing, i have cleared the worst of the rocks away and tied a piece of white cloth to indicate wind direction, hope we are found soon David

People will have to tell me what animals they have so I can sort them out. I have a lot of dogs and cats. Jo.

Hey Everybody!!!!!!! Did you hear that noise just now, I'm sure it was a plane or helicopter overhead!!!! Come on, let's run down to the beach where David cleared the rocks ..... come on......!!!!!!!

David

David Report 29 Aug 2004 16:21

Yippee i'm on my way, can't wait for a nice cool pint, come on folks hurry, David

DorothyG

DorothyG Report 29 Aug 2004 16:28

David, Jean, hurry up!!!! I'm sure the noise is fading away, we must hurry: have you got anything white we could wave like flag....oh, I guess it doesn't have to be white does it? Jean, take your slip off, and I'll do the same, David, take your shirt off ..... come on, wave like mad. (Running, despite high heels!!!) come on, we're nearly there, and I think the noise is getting louder again, perhaps they're circling round. Did anyone see Baz, or Grampa Jim, or any of the other girls?

DorothyG

DorothyG Report 29 Aug 2004 16:41

Yes, it's over there look!!!!!! Oh No!!!! that's why it's making so much noise, there's smoke coming from one of the engines!!! Oh, David, what are we to do? I know, we'll light a fire, that'll attract attention!! Quick, gather some twigs and things..... ok? Right, now I think it's going, gather some greenery and put loads on top so that it makes a lot of smoke!!!! Who knows, if Baz or Grampa Jim see the smoke, they may come over to where we are. Come on, build up that smoke!!! No don't sit around Jean, get some more grass.

David

David Report 29 Aug 2004 17:44

Do you mean take of my shirt and show my bronzed muscular well honed body to attract the attention of of all the ladies lounging in the shelters to come to the beach, or to attract the pilot or both maybe???. Anyway here goes, trouble is i can't see for smoke. I think they have seen us?? come on everyone gather on the beach. David

DorothyG

DorothyG Report 29 Aug 2004 18:05

OOOOOOOOOOHHH! David, Hercules would be sooooo envious! That pilot is still circling around, I wonder if Baz has seen him from the other side of the island? Down, Jean!!!! We've got a fire to keep going!

Good idea with the smoke,but I think the plane`s down, just around the point, about a mile out to sea.
