Well I am here to tell you all that I put in a career best performance with the iron this morning. I have to confess that I surprised myself with the ease with which I flattened out three shirts in ten minutes or so. The other five shirts are casual shirts so I am going to let them hang themselves out, I wouldn’t want to get too carried away with this new found skill that I have discovered.

The 1st of June is officially the beginning of the rainy season here in the Caribbean so we are expecting some rain in Trinidad over the next couple of weeks. It is a beautiful day here at the moment with a bit of a breeze to cool things down a bit.

The day remained dry and wonderful. For my part, I decided to take a wander up to the main area where there are lots of restaurants all established many years ago and the most of them are old Victorian style homes that have converted into restaurants. Angelo’s is of particular interest today, purely because we went there the night before for dinner. The food was plentiful, expensive and outstanding. You know, not many people complain about paying a little over the top if they receive the best and Angelo’s would fit into the category of the best.

I had prawns of some kind to start with and then Rack of Lamb. When I have had Rack of Lamb before, I seem to remember that 3 or 4 pieces of lamb is about the most one gets. Thick, succulent and cooked to your liking they may be, but only three or four. Order Rack of Lamb at Angelo’s in Port of Spain, Trinidad and you get all of the above and seven times over!! Yes, seven lamb chops and cooked to perfection, medium rare as ordered and accompanied by new potatoes and vegetables. (To be honest, the veggies didn’t really interest me that much).

So, what about today, the last of the ODI’s and South Africa looking for a clean sweep? Can they do it? I really do believe that they can.
