1 Up early, managed to get 3 loads of washing hung out, various animal areas cleaned.
2 Bird feeders re stocked up
3 I couldn’t convince DH to go out today, but I did drag him out to L1dl, as I struggle to keep up with their epic check out speed.
4 Looking forward to that clean bedding feeling later.
5 Food has to feature as a pleasure, hot chicken in HM roll for lunch, and hunters chicken with cheesy pots and veg is dinner.
6 Spending just 15mins in the garden autumn sun.

Frith - it was Monty Hall’s programme A Fisherman’s Apprentice that inspired us to visit Cadgwith last year which in turn made us want to stay this year 😊 Enjoy Wales
A magical start to the day, watching the small fleet of fishing boats (about 6 of them) leave the Cove from 6 a.m. this morning. The first one left when it was completely dark and the last as it was just beginning to get light, we’ve got some great photos. This was the first day the weather has been right for them to fish during our holiday. Fingers crossed that we will see them leave and return tomorrow as that is what we really wanted to see when we booked the cottage directly over the beach.
a busy day after our early start:
Firstly a visit to the Minack Theatre - it was amazing and the views over the neighbouring beach were stunning- turquoise sea, it reminded me of Smugglers Beach in Zante!
then a quick visit to Land’s End as were nearby
and then to St Michael’s Mount - absolutely stunning and worth the uphill struggle, which is one of my most difficult things to do! Again amazing views.
What a fantastic but tiring day and I am now happily in bed with the window open listening to the waves to hopefully lull me to sleep 💤
Night all 😊13 -

That's good news about your daughter, DD.
Pleasures for today (Wednesday)
1) Hens OK.
2) Bigger son drove to Wales (and back) without incident.
3) Went to the Centre for Alternative Technology. I think we saw 2 other people while we were in there.
4) The rain held off so we had a massive walk round Tywyn and along the beach.
5) Had a Chinese in the car on the way home in Newtown.

DD good news about your daughter and for the interview.
1. Wrote email to my boss- very noncommittal answer back but she knows how I feel about possible future changes.
2. Work was ok as was at other site. Also a free lunch.
3. Picked more cob nuts for colleague. Still have loads in the garden stilk.
4. Chat with neighbours. Had a laugh which was needed
5. £20 vouchers came through the post.11 -
Great news for your daughter DD.
I get my lunar calendar from the CAT every year Frith but have never been, on my list.
For yesterday,
Made chicken soup from the last of roast as knew lunchtime would be a tad rushed.
Hot clothed my mare’s mane as greasy from waterproof neck cover, she loved the attention and blew kisses on my face in thanks.
Quick lunch then off to Uni City for haircut, a sit down and a read whilst the colour went on.
Home and made a quick soda bread.
The two sofa throws have arrived so we were cosy whilst watching Ambulance.12 -
Lainey about 3 or 4 years ago was walking Murphy at crack of dawn on a summers day down in Kent.
Out of nowhere a real gypsy caravan had pitched up on a small grass area with 2 of the most beautiful horses. They were roped in. I stood with Murphy, he lolled in his sloth-like way, and I just gazed and gazed at their velvet noses desperate to stroke them. I didn't but everytime you mention your beautiful one blowing you kisses you remind me of that experience.
