You know how you fly into your tropical beach resort in your own private copter? That. #boastpost.

With my belly? Nope.

Anyway enjoying our first full day here, the Fiji Gold is cold and the locals are wonderful. I may have accidentally booked a dive trip for tomorrow.

We are the only Brits here, it's mainly Auzzies with a few Yanks. Being a marina resort there are a number of Yachties here (well owners of big plastic tubs) and they are without exception absolute nobbers who keep themselves perminantly drunk and talking loudly about the size if their aquatic caravans.

Meanwhile, because we have travelled so far and are the only ones to arrive by helicopter everyone seems to think we must be loaded. We are playing it quiet.

First dive done. Three turtles, four sharks and a beautiful coral wall. Not a bad start.

Sounds great. I’m not jealous. I’m not jealous.

I bet you prefer Stoney Cove, tho.

No 1 son is looking after a sick turtle which can’t dive due to eating plastic.....he feeds her and takes her for a daily swim

I am pleased to report that I have seen no plastic in the water so far, unlike Borneo which was a mess.

After watching the news lately I now try to avoid unnecessary plastic usage.

We’ve just booked our Christmas getaway. A week in Gran Canaria...


...not as exotic as Fiji but there is some good walking to be had.

I have put the winter duvet on the bed. The central heating isn't on just yet though.

I've cracked the mystery of why the cheese with horseradish was reduced to 60p.
