so ready for this weekend

it’s been a hectic week, with very little time for cooking and lots of take away.

i can’t wait for home cooked meals, meeting up for girls’ morning coffee and cookies, relaxing at home and getting in the water.

in the meantime, i’m going for a night dive in da pool! i am sooooo ready for this weekend!

oh, do check me out at a cup of jo‘s post today!

provo quick fact

 

i thought i would start a series of quick facts about provo, they don’t make long interesting stories, but are mostly curious facts about provo and our island life.

today’s provo quick fact is more on the interesting side, than the curious ones to come.

the turks and caicos islands (tci) is a british protectorate, which means our sovereign is queen elizabeth ii, and her representative here is governor gordon wetherall,who gained political control in august 2009. this was when britain imposed direct rule over its dependency, after allegations of ministerial corruption.

damian r todd, who is  is currently britain’s ambassador to warsaw, will succeed gordon wetherell, and he is expected to take up the post in september this year.

watch out for the curious facts to come!

i can’t believe it’s already saturday! this must be the first time i haven’t been to the beach fo a whole week – so you can imagine, i’m dying to get  in the water!

this afternoon i am volunteering at the tcspca dog show in turtle cove and i’m crossing my fingers for matilda and t bone to win!

james and i will defintely go to the beach tomorrow and i’ll be paying a visit to the spa!

enjoy your weekend!

somewhere / providenciales

  

until you’ve been (to) somewhere.

sometimes i have to remind myself to take full advantage of the island life. so yesterday i suggested we go (to) somewhere  after work. it’s one of my favourite spots, very casual, great view, i love that they have their daily ice tea specials and usually i go for their fish tacos – so yum!

i know, i know, you must think all we eat around here is mexican…i promise to post some pictures of local food soon!
