People Watching

I had a mail today from someone. It mentioned amongst other things, people watching in the Summer. I get important emails..

Today I have been watching and have obviously been watched too. The female flight attendant who is in a group with flashing pilot came over to me this pm whilst I’m lying on the sunbed like Silas Greenback and she is like Kylie Minogue and said she was making coffee, would I like some? She’d noticed I was on my own like she was. So I did. She had assumed I was also cabin crew as who in their right mind would come to Honeymoon capital the Maldives on their own…especially when their own honeymoon had been here. Yes I am mental but this place is sooo beautiful and who knows when I’ll get to return otherwise.

A male friend of mine has unpleasantly suggested that she was coming on to me. I think not. But he says that IF it does happen, he’d like it recorded. Men.

In the hut block next to ours (me and the flight attendant)  there is a couple who are so physically mismatched it is untrue. She is tall, young, athletic and beautiful and dresses with chic ease and class. He is short, fat, very baldy with greasy hair, has been sporting a pink shirt and unforgiveable brown shoes today. He is not a pretty man. I will assume he is loaded. Though if he is, he should have rented out a sunset villa and not a beach cottage. Cheapskate.

Then there was the Australian couple at shark feeding. They were sitting with a large German woman who I’m drawing massive conclusions about, but I suspect to be the General Manager type woman who responds to the TripAdvisor comments about the resort. She was telling them about the resident heron, the fish….including the Titan Triggerfish which I’ll go on to. It was the woman who I found particularly intriguing. She’s an Aussie. They know a thing or two about sun safety, right? Slip Slap Slop and all that? Well she was lobster pink sitting looking out to sea this evening. Silly woman.

The German couple are funny. She looks about 15 and him late 20’s/early 30’s. Dunno where he was this morning whilst she was on the beach but she was frigging useless on her own. Not like me with my books, ipod, snorkel mask and colouring book.

There are some loud Arabs here too. They sat in a massive group at the bar and it’s incredible to me that someone didn’t throw their approx. 9 yr old child into the sea this evening, especially when in front of the parents, he tried to snatch a reed from a small Chinese boy’s hand when he was pretending to fish. He then shouted ‘here’ a lot at the guy throwing tuna offcuts to the sharks. I bet I wasn’t the only person to think he should be diced in the bucket if he carried on with his loud obnoxious behaviour. His family seemed oblivious.
