07:45 Last night there was another
second large storm, which meant I couldn't really sleep at all - imagine the
type that was put into the first Jurassic Park movie... loud and intense. At
around 21:30-ish it was really heavy so I stood out in the porch of my new
temporary room (alas, still no snake…) under a roof where I took a few photos.
There was a lot of lightening also so I thought I would take a look out to sea
from the L's hut porch facing the lagoon whilst making a video. However as I turned the corner I found a
skinny white dog curled up in the corner clearly hungry, wet and scared to
death - I recognised it was one of the two plumbers dogs that entered some
distance behind them and sometimes didn’t leave.
I put him in the room next to mine, with
a folded mattress against one of the walls, then found an old blanket, some
black bags, some newspaper as well as some rice, soda crackers, a little cereal
and water for him - at this point I think I had made another new friend. I included all the pictures in the previous blog entry in case you didn't already see.
The rest of the night was quiet. I got
little sleep, so thought of naming the dog "San Miguel" after the
park or "Storm" as long as he was under my care.

At 6am he was yelping and whining so I
used one of my belts as a collar and leash and took him for a walk down the
beach. After returning he was quiet and I got a half-hour extra kip then I got
up when he whined again to find Storm outside my door! He had jumped out the
window somehow so I closed them leaving a gap for air to circulate then went
for breakfast and he did it again… so now he sits with me… crazy dog!
