And at the other end of the country...

Rame Head, Whitsand Bay

The other Knitted Terrorist was enjoying an equally blissful weekend dipping her toe into the Channel. Both Glittr and I, we are so lucky to live so near to such beautiful coastlines. Admittedly Cornish waters are a little warmer than the North Sea.... but I think Northumbria makes up for it by having fewer people fighting for its views. So this weekend I mainly: swam a lot, especially at a little cove. Have mentioned it before- sand, glistening satin rocks, jade green water, vivid undergrowth over the cliffs. And look at [edited to protect the innocent] twinkling in the distance. And this photo? Yes, the sea is that colour in the sunshine.

I managed to go snorkelling with some surfy pals, which was fab: wrasse, spider crabs and buckets of sand eels were the main fellows I saw, though I also came face to face with a cormorant. A chocolate ice-cream was enjoyed before we headed home- nothing as fancy as Glittr, but welcome, none the less. Sunday and Monday night saw me go fishing with DJ Mikey (as well as a bit more swimming) and I caught a Sea Bass last night, which we will be eating tonight (teriyaki sauce and barbequed, I think). We also saw the local star-gazing seal, which is always amusing. You can tell it's hot here- our postman asked to come in for a glass of water this morning at 8.00 because it was already 25 celsius.

Life is good, eh Glittr?

And by the way: chicken, champagne and raspberries sounds like my favourite meal ever, although I have been heavily indulging in white wine spritzers on coming in from work ;)

Sounds like you had a fine time too! I am jealous of your BBQ bass.... ;)

How did the seal hold it's telescope? Must be difficult with flippers. Was it mounted on a stand? Seals are well known in space science cirlces for their astrological knowledge but they're very lax about documenting it. Only a couple of publications a year.

Lazy buggers them seals, man.

I believe that seals have some sort of internal magnification device that they have inserted when they are pups. He/she just floats, nose pointed to the sky as the sun sets and the first stars appear....
