Sand In My Shoes

Yesterday afternoon was spent at the beach with a bunch of fun participants from our bilat programme...it was a sandcastle teambuilding activity...

It was a lovely day at the beach...if you like to toast in the sun...I don't tan, I just burn like a dried piece of toast...but the sun didn't last very long...as hot as it was...the weather turned almost instantaneously...and suddenly it felt as if a storm was blowing in...

It was quite refreshing except that it meant our outdoor evening dinner plans had to be shelved. We brought the dinner indoors. It wasn't quite as nice as if it was on the beach...but I didn't complain. The team had to make last minute changes to ensure that our guests got to the correct venue and didn't get wet in the rain...

All in well the evening went well... but I was much more tired that I had expected...and bungled up my Opening Introduction to the dinner...I would have kicked myself if I had had any energy to...all I managed was a 'grimace'... btw for those of you who are thinking, ' It couldn't have been THAT bad'. HK actually came over right after to ask me if I was alright...

Ya...it was THAT bad!

Plus. I got sand in my shoes. =(
