Thursday....all day.

Today has been my last "full"day of States work for a while....meetings tomorrow and Monday, but after Tuesday lunchtime I can see some real "clear" time (apart from evening meetings to do with the elections)....and that can only be good....I can spend a bit of time at home looking after the invalid...although how much of an invalid Jill will be by next week is debatable....she does a little more every day.

 I came home for a brief few minutes at lunchtime today....Jill was out...I called her on the mobile to see if she needed a lift home, but she was already three quarters of the way back from a "down the woods -along the coast - Breakwater - back through the lanes" walk with the dog. No doubt Jill will add a couple of photos of the walk...it's been a good day all round....and Jill went swimming again....didn't bother to call for a "lifeguard" friend to help...just got a random member of the public to "stand watch"...goodness knows what the press would make of it..."Deputy's wife kidnaps walker - forces them to watch changing and swimming".....the mind boggles. I'm sure it's been another day of progress....Jill even came out with me this evening to help support the constables "Yes" campaign at St. saviour's Parish Hall.... her first "evening out" since hospitalisation.....probably not quite the sort of "first evening out" she had in mind....but we had a good time....plenty of friendly faces.

The other details of today are a little depressing.....Dan has been to the Minquiers today....Jack has been to Carteret for the day.... I'm not impressed...and even more so after hearing how wonderful the sea has been all day. I should try to do some boating this week end....I have my little RIB to get out of the water...and, if the weather holds, La Duchesse to get back to town....but I don't want to do either before the weather breaks.....nothing more infuriating than having boats "unavailable" when the sea looks like a millpond and the sun baking hot. Anyway...enough of my boring news....here's the proper blog writer.

Just to rectify the above statement two very good friends were on lifeguard duty- CH and JH, having read yesterdays blog they looked in at Bel Val to see if i might have been there, and their timing couldn't have been better- I thank them!
Not writing any more, off to bed, another full day of activities tomorrow, and I must find time to tell you the story about two dogs, one cat and SC, very entertaining!!!

CH and Timba on 'duty'!

Jessie with her friend....

Dan off with Seafaris RIB to town, Jessie making sure she DOESN'T go too!!

Looking for signs of 'physical activity" at le Saie.....( actually the only activity was from the dogs jumping around the rocks!)

'School friends...' from yesterdays tea party....

Totally irrelevant fact...
