Sadistic Creator, this is what I exactly needed after the last few weeks. Sun, sand, and the nice relaxing feel of the sea as it runs over my toes while I lay here sunbathing. It’s also peaceful, something that I definitely haven’t had enough of recently.



Of course, my fight with Gemini may have contributed to this lack of peaceful-aura. After finding her sneaking back in after a night on the town with that Gordon Nott kid, I’m afraid I just reacted and did the one thing a mother in my position should do.

Forbid my stubborn too-much-like-me daughter to see him again.

Of course, Gemini reacted with the whole ‘You can’t control me, it’s my life, pot calling the kettle black’ routine.

Things pretty much deteriorated from that point into screams and curses. Good thing we were in the hallway and not the kitchen – no throwable objects!

It got to the point where Jim and Aries appeared, took one look, then reacted. Jim grabbed me and took me upstairs to the bedroom before chucking me in and locking the door. Judging by the muffled thumps and shouting coming from Gemini’s room, they had done exactly the same to her.

It was decided that a change of scenery might be good for the both of us, before we fracking kill each other!

...Plus, it keeps her away from that Gordon, at least for a few days.



So here we are at beautiful Twikkii Island. Jim’s a relative of the owner of this hotel, so we’re able to get a discount. Good thing considering a certain lack of funds. SO while he signs in, it’s time to hit the beach and start relaxing!



Right now, the Aries and Taurus are doing a little brotherly-bonding over a sandcastle. They look so sweet, even if Aries forgot to pack his swimming costume. Oh well, that just means some retail therapy for me then.



At the opposite end of the beach, trying to pretend that she’s not doing the same thing that I’m doing, Gemini’s also worshipping the sun. Unless something drastic pops up, this repairing relationship thing may take some time…



Oh yes, take a look at this beautifully tanned fit body! Please excuse me while I strut my stuff.



Pity Gemini didn’t turn out quite so well. Sadistic Creator, that looks like it hurts!

As a treat, we’ve decided to go visit the local hot springs.



I’ve decided to shell out for a massage for Gemini. Maybe this will help her temper! I just hope it doesn’t aggravate her sun burn, otherwise I’m in for a world of pain when she gets her hands on me.



Of course, as soon as we got there the boys dived into the springs, so now they having a whale of a time splashing about in there. Typical boys!



Of course, me and Jim are far too mature for that kind of thing. We decided to instead ‘test’ the hammocks for stability. And test it again, just in case the first time was a fluke. All in the name of health and safety of course!



We also tested the sauna for…ummm… splinters. Don’t want the kids getting one!

We would have tested the beds back at the hotel, but we were too tired from all the previous testing to do anything but sleep.



Well, it’s the final meal before we head back to everyday life, and I think a miracle may have happened! Okay, me and Gemini are still not talking to each other, but at least we’re actually sitting at the same table without tearing each other’s eyes out! Success!

Now, if only the food will get here, I’m starving!
