August Visitors

Sandy returned to the Island  with Mum in tow this year, to inspire us with more ideas for art from the ocean (Art Afloat at The Big Barge with Emma).She was a delightful, frequent customer and we all loved her morning hugs and sunny smile. A perfect start to our day at the Cafe as we caught her enthusiasm for life and for Dory's Crepes!

John and Marj made an entrance on Marj's last day here before returning to Perth to see the twins. We hadn't seen them at all since they returned to their Cocos Home but they graced us with their presence for a moment or two prior to Marj's departure!  Perhaps she suggested that John could come to us for a feed after a long hard day out on his kite board. We didn't see him though!










That Danish Fella Neils was back up here again this year  Wind Surfing. Here he is  having his morning breakfast of Eggs Benedict with Arti before going out for another day on the water.


One of the SERCO workers came in the other day with her eye balls hanging out from lack of sleep. She asked for a Cappa on white bread which threw Di into a turmoil for a moment. Was this some new morning tea "Christmas Island style" that we had yet to discover? Was she expected to  dunk the sandwich prior to serving or did the customer  want it perched on top of the bread on same plate??  Once she saw Di's puzzled look the situation was quickly resolved with the customer re ordering from our menu!

Exciting news filtered its way to the Cafe last Sunday (via the never ending Cocos grapevine)  about the  engagement of two prominent locals. We had lots of fun and laughter as we got each customer to guess who the culprits might be.  Congratulations Jocka and Christine.  Enjoy yourselves on Christmas Island.

Wise words I heard on the TV recently:

               "It will all work out in the end.  If it's not working out, it's not the end!"
