Last day on the beach before we fly to Bangkok. Lots of travelling in the weeks ahead, so to ensure our batteries are fully charged we lay on the same spot of sand for several hours, moving only to buy beer and peanut butter sandwiches.
Beaten by another American at Scrabble in the evening. This time it was the lovely Kate from Portland who did the damage.
Introduced a new rule to liven things up a bit. After the game was finished we asked a random passer-by to select the most interesting word that had been played. Unfortunately, we asked a German whose command of English was obviously limited; he decided Kate's 'Dove' was superior to 'Wend's' 'Ukulele' and my 'Jumble'. So Kate received 25 bonus points and will be taking the honours back to Oregon.
I was bloody furious. I mean, how dull is 'Dove'?

Oh, I don't know - 'Dove' is a bit like 'Dave' after all.

Can't help but think "aviators" was a bit of a fluke. M&S
