Mr. Bidoux drops us into town this morning. Madame Edragas is not in today so her children are dispersed among various classes. Berthé the farmer is in Mr. Castor’s class and he shows up the older kids with his enthusiasm and acting skills.
Nicola and I march up to the Terminal Café at lunchtime. Jean-Pierre, the patron, is open to our ideas for a St. Patrick’s Day party and we have a liquid lunch with him.
Christina the Christian is on the bus home and I engage her in conversation about her English prayer letter. St. Lucia was her home before she moved to Martinique over thirty years ago.
Oliver and Lionel pop around to our house in their army uniforms. Arlette must be having a heart attack upstairs. Matthew the Martiniquan soldier has been causing trouble lately as he has been drunk and unruly in the dorms.
Nicola’s evaporating fund problems have been cleared – just like her bank account. David our Scottish friend has not replied to our calls or texts lately and we’re starting to get a bit concerned about his absence.
Nicola and I practise our Irish dancing in the heaviness of the night.
Fran and Bex come around for a late-night tea party. Fran is staying dry as she’s driving. Bex is on the cider. Alex and Tom accompanied them to Trinidad for the Carnaval of colours, mud and other sticky substances.
Arlette is on the blower at 2,00.
