Month: September 2022

Luis responded to a nearby pussy event at 04:30 which was when my day began. I wasn’t going back to sleep so gave up the unequal struggle and took out the dogs. It was unusually warm and humid so a polo shirt and shorts were just fine. Only Luis didn’t make it to the rocks…

The morning arrived quickly, around five hours after I closed my eyes. I managed to get the dogs out in good time so we strode off into the darkness along the beach. No cars in the car park just the same vans parked along the beach road. It was a pleasant temperature and very dark…

Some noisy Frogs were splashing around quite late in the evening in the pool outside one of the CBVillas. I thought we’d been invaded again. Our walks went according to plan so Obi was keeping with me for a change. The previous day he was sitting comfortably in the van when we got back. I…

It was much warmer as we crossed the car park where only one car remained. Later, we saw the same selection of Motorhomes and Vans as we walked back from Plakaki. Luis, as is his tradition, had gone into the camping to find Ursula who was in the loo. He waited patiently until Ursula and…

A cool and dark morning with plenty of stars. The moon now gets up too late to see but will return, renewed before long. There was a car parked under a tree and we eventually found a small tent hidden on the Promontory. Several more leisure vehicles were along the top of the beach as…

I watched an interesting documentary on buildings which were constructed during the war especially during the period when invasion was likely. A chunk of the program was made at Newhaven Fort as well as Seven Sisters Country Park and Cuckmere Haven particularly. There are several parts to this series which I look forward to viewing.…

I watched the second half of Kavenagh and began to watch something else. And then I woke up and went to bed. Having carefully ensured Fido went out for a wee at bedtime, I was woken around three by Isabella needing to go out. It transpired that Skinny went out at the same time. Later,…

I was wearing a light fleece when I went to bed so it was ready for the morning. I don’t remember how long it is since I’ve worn anything other than a T-shirt or polo shirt. There was a gentle northerly wind too. We all completed all of the walk together as Luis was with…

I was slightly ahead of the alarm but only by a couple of minutes. The dogs stirred only once my feet were on the ground and I started to drag on some clothes. Shorts and a T-shirt don’t take much time anyway. It didn’t want to be much cooler or I would have needed something…

The TV viewing experience was marred by dodgy Internet connectivity. I tried unsuccessfully to find solutions by restarting things and eventually gave up. There were loads of mosquitoes too which made life more complicated. I was woken at 04:50 by a mosquito whining about my head. Somehow, it had found its way past my fortifications…

The Germans with the small dog seem to have taken up residence in the car park but still appear pleased as we pass. Another car was there but no sign of anyone. Heidi and Ursula were just approaching the car park when Isabella spotted them and so the game was up. We were walking back,…

I watched the second part of Remembrance, the film about Devonport sailors on a night out prior to leaving for six months. A long film which was quite complicated due to the number of sub-plots and the amount of dialogue. But I survived to the end. Just the German Couple with the little dog were…

I was watching a film about some young navy lads out on the razzle the day before they were to sail on an operation lasting six months. It was a bit slow but it was set in the eighties(?) so it was interesting from an historical point of view if nothing else. I finally gave…

I managed to mislay Isabella’s collar having left it hung over the top of the fence, we were later out than we should have been as I looked for it. Once out of the gate, the only thing between us and the Promontory was a minivan with a body sprawled in the back. I suspect…

Fortunately, I was awake and managed to get up well before the alarm as there was lots to do. The FreeLoader with the SUV was still present so we avoided the Big Beach in both directions. It was a lot cooler but quite still or it might have been cold. Our walk was completed and…

M Poirot entertained me for nearly an hour. This time, he was preventing a murder, just for a change. It was a good story and just a typical Poirot. It was cooler during the night but no need of a blanket, just a sheet. The morning was still until we were out on the Promontory.…

I amused myself in front of the box with some of BritBox’s lates offerings. More police murder stories but quite good. I eventually ran out of steam so retired to my boudoir where I was soon asleep. The alarm hadn’t gone off and I was already out of bed and dragging on some clothes. We…

The night turned chilly at one point so I had to retreat under my sheet! It was pleasantly cool at getting up time accompanied by a gentle breeze which almost kept the mosquitoes at bay. The moon illuminated almost everything as it’s now so much higher in the sky at walk time as it sets…

I received a call from Georgia via Maria asking me to go to the bar to make it so that Georgia could see the cameras remotely on her phone. As it was Sunday evening and short notice, I sort of forgot all about it and would do something in the morning. As it turned out,…

Just testing…… Read the rest

My decadent lifestyle kept me watching the Box until gone ten such was the excitement of the content. I forget the title but it looks promising. Yet another police, detective series to the collection. I hope to continue with it later. There are good actors and the plot looks interesting. Naturally, the odd murder or…

It was cooler so I adjourned inside and actually watched something on my big screen for the first time in ages. I chose Perry Mason who managed to solve a complicated case and exonerate his more-than-stupid client. A certain amount of pussy activity sparked doggy reaction from within the van during the night so I…

As the evening wore on, the wind was no where to be heard only the moon silently passing outside. It was too cold to be sitting outside so we all adjourned inside. The guy with the dog was moving house so there was a lot of clattering which provoked some undesirable barking on my side.…

Yet another cooler and blowy night. I was glad of the blanket although only very light. The morning came quickly enough and was more windy than I expected. With the recent wind, the beach was devoid of FreeLoaders and so I thought was The Promontory as there was not a vehicle in sight. No sign…

The night was blustery and required a blanket later on as the wind made it appear quite cool. It was still blustery when I got up so there was no hanging around on the walk. Not so windy as the day before so we crossed the rocks and followed our usual route. The walk to…

There was not much wind very early on but I could hear it getting up as the morning approached. By the time we were out it was very windy so we were blown towards the Promontory. Even amongst the trees it was still windy and the sand was blowing in our eyes. Iera had appeared…

Fido tried to get us up at 04:30 again but I insisted he wait until five. We were out at around five-twenty in the end. The night had not been that calm as there was another dog roaming around not far from the fence which was causing Sasha to fidget. Isabella had decided to join…

I was about to settle down to watch something when Georgia called to ask me to meet her at the boiler. Apparently, it had gone off so all of the hot water was exhausted. It started up ok so the water eventually heated up and the showerers were happy. I’d only been back a short…

It was Fido again who was responsible for getting my day off to a flying start as he needed to wee at around 03:30. I retired to my pit expecting him to stay out for a long time but he was soon back bashing on the gate. I let him in and went back to…

Fido started my day around 03:50 however, some persistent chatting from my newest neighbours woke my at 01:30. Not for long: just long enough for me to wish them sweet dreams. Why some of the biggest rental tents are near me when much of the rest of the camping is empty astounds me. It was…

It was a quiet evening with only very brief visits from Georgia and the elder two of Bona’s boys. The mosquitoes were biting very well, some even during the day, so I eventually gave in and decided to go to bed. The plan was to read for a while. But this message asked if I…
