It was one of those days that promised a lot but failed to deliver.
Part of it, I admit was my fault. I should have gone out in the morning, when the light was much better than in the afternoon. I must strive to gee my ginger and get out in the morning to take photos, instead of sitting at home bemoaning my inability to to get a solution to Wordle™.
Actually, both Scamp and I did solve Wordle with the same score.
So, it was afternoon before I managed to coax myself out of the couch and into the real world. We need a leek for dinner and some single cream for the dessert. Also, I wanted some peanut butter for my breakfast. I walked over to the shops via St Mo’s pond, hoping for some bird life. I found it in a group of Canada Geese milling around among the bulrushes and eventually, they made PoD. Unfortunately I failed to capture two, yes TWO grey herons flying past, not 50metres from me on the boardwalk. I haven’t seen a grey heron on the pond in the past year, so it’s gratifying to find what might be two mating pairs in the pond.
The remainder of the walk to the shops was without interest of any kind. Bought the supplies and retraced my steps back, via the pond, without finding any interesting species of life, animal or human. It was just one of those dull days.
Back home, it was my turn to make dinner which was Cod & Prawns with Fennel & White Wine. It turned out fine for one of my meals. The fish was cooked well, but not over cooked and the prawns were just cooked and pink which was fine.
Spoke to Jamie and heard about their friends’ forthcoming wedding in St Conan’s Kirk in the wilds of the Highlands. It’s not until September, so:
- The place will not be totally plagued by midges … I hope!
- That means I’ll have a few months to tidy up my room as Jamie and Simonne will need somewhere to stay over on their way to the wedding.
Scamp and I made some plans for holidays this year that will need to be fitted in between hospital visits for both of us. We think it will probably be possible, but a cruise this year may be problematic.
Best wishes to Hazy and Neil on their wedding anniversary today. Hope you both had a great day. I well remember the wedding!!
Tomorrow we may go out for lunch.
