I'd walk along here

 

In fact I have walked along here many times with the wind a blowin, hair all over the place and sea spray in the air.

It is worth the effort.

this snap

 

The end of the day

 A mild a day yesterday so enjoyed a short stroll - while my dodgy hip held out - after the flue jab.

Do you feel lucky punk?

 

When one feels a spot of luckiness throbbing through one veins, take out a simple point and shoot camera with a plastic lens, and shoot a roll of very cheap polypan-f film.

One can get lucky but if not, it probably will still put a smile on one's visage.

YAY !

 

What a great day it was yesterday.

Great day in the USA for all the world.

Great day on the island - sunshine and a bike ride with Eve. How lovely was that?

I had a G&T to celebrate the day.

It may not be the prettiest

 

This beach has a certain charm. Not to everyone's liking mind.

It's just down t'road so I go there. Not too busy - none there usually.

You may have noticed a short hiatus regarding the posts here. Sorry about that but you didn't miss much. Not been anywhere much. Not much out the village really. Nothing new to see. Hip playing up too as age gets the better of me :-(

and the other day.....

 

While out on a wee stroll on a beach hereabouts. There's many beaches and so a choice must be made. Only, the rain came so we went in this cave to shelter.

It's Stornoway Formation don't you know captured on Kentmere 400 film in the old Pentax P30. Oh what joy.

Times past

 

Seems like several lifetimes ago we sat here in Logrono, Asturias while out there watching the Vuelta bike race and catching up with pals from the cycling world. 

Now, one of those pals has retired from racing and another is running his own big pro team. We are sitting dodging the showers on our island home and hope the world will sort itself out.

beach

 I'll be back to normal soon. Probably

Oooh, this does it for me

 

Just as well I still have a mile of Polypan-f film knocking about as I can play without bankrupting myself.

Taken with a 1950s Minolta A3 camera too.

Sometimes, I have a snap I like.

Best man or lady

 

Not sure if it is Daisy or Harris. Either way I like it.

The back Path

 

Again, another snap from the ikky plastic camera thing from yesterday - or was it the day before.

Plastic

 

A little plastic camera I found in the back of a cupboard, had its 15 mins of fame today. Since the weather was iffy and i didn't fancy a bike ride in my less than fantastic state of health we took a short stroll along a local beach. The marram grass was blowing in the wind while from time to time it shone in the brief flashes of sun. What a lovely stroll we had.

Italia

 

Another little snap from yeay years back. looking all apprehensive for what turned out to be ride over the white roads in 40C heat !

Memories of Tuscany

 Watching the Giro D'Italia bike race the other day - and what a race it has been, brought back memories of 2011 and our last visit to Tuscany with Deanne and Mr Windy.

please bear with me

 

Have a slightly malfunctioning me.

Will resume soon.

at the wedding

 

In the bird box

 

We have been to check Toots is still ok. His dear wife is away at the moment and there's not too many peeps around what with the C..... and everything. We sit in the Bird Box in the Garden with the door open. Rules eh?

We seem to have a slightly malfunctioning Keith at the moment. He is prone to go out at night through the cat phlapp and then come back in soaked to the skin like a over-wet dishcloth. Keith then proceeds to leap onto the bed!

Ooooof, the Giro is excellent

 

When I say Giro I mean the Giro D'Italia which as it happens is still winding it's way round Italy at a rate of knots. Nother win for GB yesterday which is nice but the racing is exciting too. Just like the Ronde van Vlaanderen which Eve rode the amateur sportive version a couple of times years ago. Ooof, so good to have a pooter to watch it all on.
