It looked a lovely day, Darren was catching up with some tv programs, so Tina suggested we make a flask and take a drive up to the car park beyond the south bay. We have been there before and usually have the place to ourselves, but today there were a lot of cars there. We had driven round the bays and there were hundreds of people out and about, great to see. There was a boat out at sea and we couldn't decide what it was, this gull was sitting in front of where we parked, so boat and bird, bonus!

Looking back at south bay from the car park.

We took a bit of a walk down the hill, the wind was pretty bitter as we got nearer the sea.

Back home I have been watching a dvd about Dolly Parton songs that was a Christmas present. Really interesting, telling the stories behind some of her best known songs. I went down to get on with our Christmas dinner. Charlie is a strange cat, very big, but he is intimidated by Colonel and plagued at times by Blue. Today Tina shut him in the dining room on his own, thinking he would settle on one of the chairs. Tina called me when she checked on him, he made a very attractive Christmas dinner!!

In the kitchen Tina has a Christmas cactus, it is by a cold window and regularly neglected, but it is absolutely beautiful again at the moment.

I have been trying fit some more pieces to the blue of the jigsaw, without a lot of success. I am not at the point of giving up, yet, but am getting a bit frustrated with it now.
