As predicted, today was a day for recovery.
The furthest I went today was St Mo’s for a wander round the pond. I did find a PoD when I was out. It’s a soldier beetle showing off its agility on a grass leaf. Just like a pole dancer, I’m led to believe. I thought I should add that just in case of any repercussions. It was one of those days that promised rain, but didn’t seem to know where it had put it. Big black clouds threatened downpours, then hurried off elsewhere without a single drop being dispensed. It was windy, though and that made insect and flower photography difficult.
Before I went out, Scamp had gone for a walk to the shops while I wrote up yesterday’s blog. We’d decided to have Cod and Paprika Chowder. It’s a simple recipe as long as you prep things before you start and that’s what I did today. For once I was organised. I must have made a mistake somewhere, because it turned out much thicker than normal. That was easily repaired with a dollop of milk stirred in. Tasted fine.
Spoke to Jamie and talked yesterday’s Blackpool visit. We forgot to mention that someone asked for a Gavotte! Even better, at least four couples were dancing it. So strange after being taught the rudiments of this ancient dance while we were on this year’s cruise.
That was about it for this rest day. Tomorrow, everything will get back to normal again, hopefully.
