A radical change of plans

So, it's Thursday morning and I'm supposed to go diving. However, I finished my "beer fairy" duties around 3 a.m. and am too tired to go. So I decide to do my town errands. Being lazy and living about a 20 minute cycle ride from town, I try to group everything together, and today is the day! I have a long list of things to buy, things to pay, lab tests, things to pick up and people to see. I decide to quickly check my emails whilst Paul is finishing up in the shower. Laurie is online and pings me about going snorkeling on the "Miss Carole" (Dick and Carole's new boat) for the afternoon. Me, being a very serious person and knowing all about responsibility, tell Laurie that I can't as I have errands to run and very very important things to do in town. When Paul comes out of the shower, I tell him about the invitation and he agrees that we have a lot to do, and very very important things to do in town. So, 10 minutes later we are on the phone to Dick and asking him to pick us up at Banyan Bay dock. We have grabbed fins and masks, fishing rod, very tired looking sardines from the freezer, sunscreen and we're off!
We buy some water and a couple of beers from Los Caminantes and wait on the dock. Of course, we cycled there and Paul looked like some manic jouster with his fishing rod.
Paul and Laurie were already on the boat and off we went. The water was lovely and clear, it's been superb the past few days.
We snorkeled, fished, swam, ate and drank. No fun whatsoever. Whilst we were out there, Diane called to invite us to a party on Sunday. All this socialising is exhausting! We need a holiday!
Once back on land, we go back to Dick and Carole's house and decide to have a barbecue at our place. The 6 of us pile onto the golf cart to the Belikin Depot to buy a box of shrimp. Herb and Zac also joined us for the evening - guitars and drums ablaze. Paul now thinks he's John Lennon.....
