Thursday 25th April



Had a lovely foggy dog walk on the beach early this morning with the girls, convulsed with laughter at one point when one of our party with panic in her voice questions where her dog was, to find she was stood with him attached to her  lead!!

We made her stand in shame!

We had to wait a long time for the timer, so SS fell asleep......

Mr Option B was out and about by 6:30am taking down those wretched posters and returning the boards to their owners. He had two long meetings today and is now out at La Mare with lots of VIP  French nationalities, something I think he could have done without, especially as I am designated taxi, no wait, a son has offered to ‘do the pick-up’-hurrah!

My car had to go to the garage today, I’ve worn the brakes out, no doubt the v tired politician will add that to my  payment list along with my  recently bought new tyres. Consequently I was ‘on my bike’, as a means of transport to work this afternoon. Getting there  was very pleasant in a downhill, sunny sort of way, my return journey was extremely unpleasant in thick fog, which just seemed to be in the top half of the Island

Puffing uphill towards a junction I spied two ‘lost’ looking cyclists studying a Perry’s guide map. So upon recognising kindred spirit I told them the sunshine was “that way” pointing southwards, and genially offered them my vast knowledge and orienteering skills. Imagine my embarrassment then when I quickly realised I couldn’t see the map properly without my glasses and then becoming flustered couldn’t quite work out where we were, especially after the well-spoken French gentlemen  asked if he was on the A3?!!

Master Seafaris had an excellent trip to the Ecrehous over lunchtime, a sunny oasis in a sea of fog. Apparently they spotted porpoises, not dolphins, anybody else ever seen them?
