Proud of his Hairstyle

One of three Black Grouse (Scientific name: Lyrurus tetrix) I saw as dawn was breaking (extra). There were more on the other side of the hill above Pierre de Moellé but I had decided to walk up Mont d’Or side for a change. I’d forgotten how steep it is!

 In the afternoon David and I practiced putting up the sails and various calm water maneuvers with the little sailing boat (2nd extra) he built 3 years ago. Yesterday was the first time it had been in the water since David’s stroke last year and he has to completely re-learn everything about it again. He found it easier than yesterday so hopefully every day will be better.

Tonight I hope to have some quiet time when David is at choir to finally catch up with your journals a bit. Thanks for continuing  to drop into my journal when I haven’t had the energy left to reciprocate, the early mornings don’t help! No hedge cutting as it is Pentecost and the Swiss do not allow noise on public holidays or Sundays..
