Warm bright and breezy and some amazing ripples to be had down at the sea A refreshing swim but the water was arm achingly, goose bumpily freezing! Shouldn't it be getting warmer? Only a few jellies around though and I had the beach to myself.

Our boreen is being done! A drain is being put across to divert rain water away from the house and into a ditch. 3 men, a digger, a cement mixer, a van and a trailer, and a lot three quarter down(??) have been hard at it all day. We can't use the boreen for a week which means scrabbling up the side of the house which is madly overgrown a wildlife haven.
