At the begining of February, Sensualist went skiing at Mont Ste. Anne which is a resort north east of Quebec City, a very historic part of French Canada. The temperature with the windchill was close to -40 C but with the neoprene facemask, goggles and headgear you were still able to work up a good sweat! (Once again, there's nothing like hurtling down the side of a mountain at the edge of control but never actually losing it!)
Then last week, Sensualist went ocean kayaking on the north shore of Jamaica to Dunn's River Falls (location of the DN and LALD shoots). Upon arrival, we climbed the falls which was a totaljaunt of aprox. 1000 feet. The Regaee music played by the steel bands and the Jerk chicken were outstanding.
It was good to be back in one of Fleming's old haunts, albeit 40 to 50 years later....
Sensualist was also able to go gambling at a casino on a criuse ship off Grand Cayman and did the reef snorkling bit at Cozumel off Mexico. Sensualist was lucky enough to see stingray, sea turtle and parotfish in clear teal and turquoise waters. (There was no sighting of any octopussy (although, for land-based ones read next paragraph) nor of anything resembling the Hildebrand Rarity!)
On the female front, there was that well tanned and toned pharmacheutical sales girl from New York that I got to 'know' on the Cruise ship. Yet the truth be told, Sensualist has a new Russian Girlfriend who grew up in Siberia but teaches music in these parts. When she plays Chopin, Kara Milovy could'nt hold a candle to her!
The problem is that Russian lover Svetlana wants a "relationship".....(Sigh! Sensualist is not one for, er, "relationships".)
I'm sure old Ian Lancaster would approve of the above, non?
(Although, if the bastard were alive, he'd be encouraging Sensualist to get the whip out!)
