Round

Deep cleaning this morning, upstairs looking good - can we make it last until the weekend!  I hope the house sitters appreciate this slog. And by a weird twist of fate I reckon Cheeryoscuro may have met them - this sounds just like who we are expecting, minus dog. This weird twist of fate has happened before :see here , (and you get a reminder of the lovely mischievous Fineen). 

A good chat with the Kiwis last night and Esme can now swim underwater. She showed us her  latest drawing showing us (smiling happily)  in a plane passing over England, Australia and Takaka. Pretty good.

A nip into Schull and a cuppa with Finola, last one before we head off I reckon. She is working very hard on a book which I think is going to be fantastic -  It sounds as though she's enjoying it too and discovering all sorts of interesting things about her subjects. More  of this later.

The jumble of buoys at the pier seemed to fit this week's MM Challenge.

I guess by now the orange one is inaugurated, not sure I can bear to look.
