The Cooking Fat might need a new home.

Perhaps the cat is trying to make an escape bid

Try reading the last sentence of the first paragraph in #1

Stop being silly

Some days ago it came to me, suddenly I knew why Stingo refers to his cat as cooking fat. It’s a spoonerism for f… cat! My brain works slow.

Greetings from my cat by the way. She is jealous of the cooking fat and the stunt it pulled. All she manages to do (until now) is to rip apart garbage bags and kitchen rolls.

Wow...thank you for sharing....

I know. I was just so proud…

On getting back from the beach bar this evening, the distinct sound of the water pump pumping could be heard. My water tanks are now empty and, besides the Cooking Fat chasing shadows, I have no idea how the pump was switched on?

Getting fresh water here is a major challenge - 50 litres per dinghy ride x 4 trips x €4 per 50 litres, which must be paid with folding stuff and there's no ATM on the island.

Grrrrr (but in banned language).

Water boat not operating this time of year? Probably not.

Correct.

During the high season, he's not reliable because he also has to attend to his oyster farm, which is tide dependent.

Just revisiting this thread and I have come to the conclusion that you enjoy getting the water (apart from cost) as it involves a drink at you local; on which point as you are a good customer, couldn't he supply the water cheaper ?

Nearly correct, but the pedantic details are boring... zzzz

Right, nearly time to head to the beach bar for beer, but not to top up with water.
