From the Desert to the Sea

It was just a thought that turned into a weak plan, that ended up getting cancelled, or rather morphed into something else; a bbq at the chalet.

The gang and I (7tenths, Doctor Lost, Misplaced, Satisfied Nina, Death_In_Technicolor and some of our non-blogging members) had all decided to go spend Friday in the desert, and bbq our heads off, and then build a massive bonfire once dusk arrived.

The problem was that we were severiously unprepared for this, so we settled for an impromptu beach bbq at the chalet at the very last minute.

Misplaced, Laser (golden labrador) and I arrived first, opened up the house and got started on cooking. Then the others arrived about an hour later, and brought the noise, games and cameras with them.

One of our friends, the Engineer showed us his skills on the BBQ while I made a large amount of jalapeno cheese poppers (from scratch! thankyouverymuch!) and Misplaced made a tray of brownies to complement my plate of cheesecake cookies.

Nina went for a walk down to the pier...

Also with us was Pretty Eyes (I call him that on account of the size of them, their greenish colour, and super long, and thick lashes). He had arrived with his cousin, and Doctor Lost.

Doctor Lost... he decided to go for a swim, and begged us to keep him company in the pool area. I think it was because he wanted us to admire him, so instinctively we turned him down. However, some time later, we decided to go in and do him favour.

So there we all were, in the pool house, looking at the next Man From Atlantis, then somehow our attention shifted to Laser. We started playing hide-around-the-pillar with him, and petting and lavishing all our love and affections on him, when suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I noticed that Doctor Lost was no longer swimming. Instead, he was standing in the shallow end of the pool looking forlonely at Laser... wishing he could trade place with him and be the one to get the love and attention. I almost felt bad for Doctor Lost.

So then we turned out all the lights, exited, and left Doctor Lost pleading in the pool, alone. But only for a few seconds, after which Misplaced turned the lights back on.

At this point, we were chilling in the main room. Engineer and his little bro were playing chess, and we were watching DVDs. Doctor Lost exited from the pool area, and strutted around while drying his bulging pecs off. I guess his play shest sessions have paid off...

After cleaning-up, everyone went down to the pier for a last stroll, then we packed up our vehicles and drove back in the rain fall.
