Drifting in uncharted seas

rainbow, we went to Borth on saturday! Well, first we went by 'bus to Ynyslas and then walked along the beach back to Borth. Which was a daft thing to do really, as it was a long way for a Pixie with two dodgy knees. I'm paying for it now!

The beach was lovely though. The tide was coming in, so we missed seeing the petrified forest, which was already under water by then. The sky was blue, the waves were big enough for some surfers to be out in it, and there were some serious men with long lines fishing along the shoreline. I didn't realise it was so sunny, and I got rather burned on my face. P, being more sensible, had kept his head down, so only his forehead caught the sun. You could have fried an egg on my face!

When we got to Borth, we went to Sands bistro. Which always makes me laugh! It tickles me, that Agent Sands (from Once Upon A Time In Mexico) might have moved to Wales and opened up a cafe. I wonder if he'd shoot the cook! :-) After that, we sat outside and waited for the 'bus back to town.

It was all too much for my right knee though. Over the years, it has had to take the strain while my left knee was badly damaged. Now I have arthritis in both knees. Yesterday, I was doing nothing more than taking out the rubbish when I felt my knee crunch. It feels unstable now and keeps slipping when I walk. So I'm taking it easy today, not going to town as I had planned. P has gone back to London this morning (it was a bank holiday yesterday) so I'm on my own until friday night. So i don't think I'll be weeding the garden this week!

Okay, all for now. Bee good!

I'm a little disappointed that this post page doesn't show up very well in IE. I know, IE is of the devil and if everyone had any sense whatsoever they would be using firefox, because firefox is of the win and the good and all bow down to holy firefox. And breath. But it makes me laugh when I see oodles of posts on message boards about how firefox is causing this error and that error and t'other. *sigh* So I love my Avant browser and I can't use it to post here. Ah well, post at firefox and read at avant.

It's a lovely, sunny but windy day in Aberystwyth. I've just had a delivery of 16 rolls of turf, so we'll be sorting out the would-be herb garden at the weekend. The idea is that we lay the turn and leave a foot wide gap around the outside for herbs. The folks who had this house before used that patch as a vegetable garden. Which is a nice idea, but is only big enough for samples of different vegetables. I really want to be able to pick fresh herbs to use in my cooking, so a herb garden it is. Now, I have to decide what herbs I want. We've already got a very big rosemary bush and a curry plant. I think I'll have some basil and sage to be going on with, and perhaps some mint. P will put up a fence around the herb garden to keep the hen out! Inara would just love to get stuck into scratching it all up.

I haven't let Inara out yet. She hasn't shouted to the heavens that I am cruelly imprisoning her yet, so she must be sitting on an egg. She likes to take her time with an egg and sit on it for a while. She's not broody, thank heavens Black Rocks are not prone to that, but she likes to savour it for a while.

Well, all for this morning. TTFNQ
