My left foot on something sharp when I jumped out of the boat into the sea this morning. A rock, a spiny fish, a carelessly discarded piece of trash? I don't know, but I had to go to the doctor to get the wound cleaned out and...

Louise is back in town and this is not good news for anyone. She went off to Martinique last year after we broke up and has been back a few times, each time with a different man who she paraded before me. Now Madeleine tells me...

There’s a new guy serving at Madeleine’s Beach Bar, and it makes such a difference having your coffee made by someone pleasant for a change. The person who’s normally there at 7.30 in the morning is grumpy, disobliging,...

Fiacre Banks @svidrigaylov That’s a dream café with all that.

My cousin has persuaded me again to tag along with a group of tourists on one of his tours. Thankfully it's not up to Lac Flammarion this time, but to the waterfall 'Saut de Lezarde'. It's off the beaten track but it takes only a...

Fiacre Banks @svidrigaylov Tourists, who’d have them?

So I took a boat load of tourists down to Paka Beach today - the first of many my cousin hopes. There wasn't an American among them, mostly French, but I got to speak English for the sake of two German ladies who spoke English but...

Fiacre Banks @svidrigaylov It always helps when people remain fully clothed, especially when it's at your place of work.

I've quit my job at the doggy hotel. I told my cousin I couldn't listen to any more barking dogs and hissing cats so I'm off. I'm going back to work with/for my other cousin, the one who tries to show tourists a good time. I told...

Fiacre Banks @svidrigaylov Sounds like a wise move. Thanks for the warning of what we might see if we take a trip to that beach!

This job working at a doggy hotel is ruining my life! I sleep over at it three times a week and each time one spoiled pooch wakens and barks at its own shadow they all start up and it's ages before they calm down. No sleep is to...

Judy Evans @Svidrigaylov That's cats for you. You're not really having a good time there, are you? Noisy dogs and snobbish cats.

So I've scaled back my work with my cousin's tourism venture - totally boring. In its place I've gone into business with another cousin (and the first cousin is not pleased!). This other cousin owns a pet hotel where rich pet...

Fiacre Banks @svidrigaylov Methinks you need to keep looking for the perfect job - you clearly haven’t found it yet!

Cats are the most ungrateful guests at this pet hotel. They are just like so many human guests at hotels for humans - haughty, disdainful and ever so self-centred. They turn their noses up at food and turn their faces away every...

Greg @Svidrigaylov It has been very overpriced. No wonder it's not very popular.

I used to visit a Danish cafe called 'Den smagloese cafe'. The name means 'The tacky cafe' and it looked very different from other cafes. The furniture, the lamps and the other decorations were kitschy and ugly, and the colors...

Porcospino @Svidrigaylov I think that it would be a great concept. Some tables would probably be more popular than others.

My neighbour, the lady who painted the outside of her house shocking pink, called the police late last night and reported a strange, green glow hovering above my garden. I’m sure the police thought she was drunk, high or crazy...
