'You don't care do you? I could have drowned and it means nothing to you. Nothing at all!' 'You weren't going to drown,' Bertha replied. 'The water wasn't deep enough. I should have waited until we were further out....my error...you live and learn.' 'And you didn't help me get back on.' 'Norman had the situation under control, although I do wonder why, what with you flicking at his ears.' 'It was mutiny!................Again!' 'I'm not sure that you can mutiny when on an elephant, you'll need to check.' 'I will be. You can be sure of that.' 'Well,' Bertha said, 'I'll leave you to do so, I'm off for a scout around.'

As next week's going to be very hectic I thought I would just have a little 'me' time today. The Hotel has a nice formal garden area with statues and things, it's all very peaceful.
