An adventure.


Today is my poppet's 38th birthday. He lost his father at 38 and has been quite ambivalent about this day. After this year he will have lived longer than his father. In his dark dark days he planned to end his life at 38: he no longer has this plan. I think his father would be proud of him.

I know I am.





Yesterday we went to Tintagel castle
You can see a larger image by clicking on any photo.


Legendary castle of King Arthur and a place that has evidence of Roman occupation.


Oh but it was so very beautiful, warm and sunny.


I wanted to dive into that water.


The sense of space was calming.


We were joined by friends


I felt a sense of peace.


And yes, I really did walk all the way up here from that villiage to that tiny building in the centre of the photo... I so feel it in my legs today and the plantar fasciitis is baaaad, but it was so worth it!

Trouble


You just stick your claws in here and hang on and you get this really cool ripping noise...


Oops, mum's looking, pretend you're watching that leaf outside...


We are having a cuddle. Mmmkay?


Ggrrrrhmphgrrgh. *bite*


Whaaaaaat?!


Ray sang a lullaby to the cattons yesterday,

"Go to sleep
Shut your eyes,
Do not be a nuisance.."

I think this bodes well.
