It’s been an odd few weeks. The shear variety of life on this funny island is baffling at times. On one hand we have attended formal events like the return of the country’s Royal Charter where the Premier and our new Governor gave speeches.
We have also had a day off and a full blown parade for the Queen’s Birthday, where the Governor awarded Queen’s Birthday Honours and inspected the police who were in their full ceremonial garb carrying swords.
I attended a lecture given by an American Nuclear Submarine Captain. Captain David Marquet of the USS Santa Fe. At this event I got to meet the Governor in person and I invited him to visit Prospect. He said yes. My impression was that he seems like a decent chap.
But then this…
He was suspended and recalled to the UK. So that was interesting and we wait to see whats going on.
I have been in the news as well:
Which was nice.
Been to an international rugby match. Which Cayman won. Just.
Been diving. Of course.
Me pretending to be a sky diver falling down’The Wall’.
But before I went diving I had to fight a cat to sign the paper work to go diving. He kept laying on the forms and grabbing and biting the pen. Eventually worn out by all the activity he went to sleep. He was very cute.
James has finished his GCSEs and had his Prom.
He is 16 years old in two weeks!
And school has been mad busy with end of Key Stage Exams and getting ready for the End of Year Six Leaving Ceremony, the PTA fish fry and a million other things.
We have been here for nearly two years!
