Nice weather again which is fortuitous. Lovely morning ,field shower and coffee and tea. Decided on a visit to Penzance  and the Lido.

So there you go.I swam in the cold water  in my swimsuit.The girl selling the tickets  said it was 16 degrees with the warmth of the sun.

I really couldn’t tell  what the temperature was.It always takes me about five minutes to get used to. My shoulders and back feel it most when I finally submerge . No dolphinesque diving for me.It was fine.Though I seem to be the only one in my family willing to do it.

I still feel the benefits this morning and slept really well..I also have a general lifting in mood.

The geothermal pool (body temp water)was full  people definitely prefer warm water. I think they are missing out on a lot of benefits.

The  first five minutes of” will I won’t I ‘are so funny By the time you finally submerge most of your body is numb anyway.

One word of warning ,the back of my left thigh began to cramp,so I kept near the handrail and within sight of the lifeguards.It recovered and I did my front crawl for a short time.I just don’t like the water on my face.Will need to practice that more.My breast stroke is pants as it feels like my left leg hangs back and it’s my shoulders doing all the work and I never move forward very far. Still I suppose it looks like I’m treading water.

Really nice weather in the morning.Little Nipper was enticed out of the caravan because he loves sunbathing. Placing a few cushions in the middle of his blanket and he couldn’t resist coming out and being with us .The wind direction had changed, so the bird scarer didn’t seem so loud.

It wasn’t until mid afternoon that there were some loud bangs and he got fractious.

So he didn’t want to stay out and was happy to go in and lie on the bed.Admittedly he had a lovely afternoon nap,

Decided on a walk in the evening to Hollywell Bay.

Little Nipper and I had a paddle and ran along the beach for a short way.

The video made me smile.

I saw a video recently of a dog who climbed trees and made some pretty scary descents.The dog in the video went very high on the rocks and as you can see watched by me and my dog(as usual very concerned) made a very steep descent and landed in the water.Only to spring back up,ready for more adventure.

Poor Tedi, terrified of bird scarer.Wants to stay in the caravan, rather than enjoy the lovely walk in the three fields he has to run and play. It’s part of his make-up ,he’s terrified of loud bangs and even hates the B51’s  that flew at home over the house. It makes me realize how terrified people who are being bombed and shot at must be.

Still he likes the sunshine, so he settled on the settee with the sun on his back and shoulder.There is always some comfort,somewhere.

We did some shopping.Perranporth has a lovely well stocked hardware shop.I bought a couple of mugs…my favourite being this one.Nicely stained with fresh hand  ground coffee made in my aeropress….Tedi had an ice cream which he really enjoyed

Good quality Anchor Mug

Wow, Ice Cream!

Little Nipper was happy to go out in the car after dinner.We had a lovely walk along Perranporth Beach and across the sand dunes.Beautiful sunset.

Sunset

Then back home (caravan is home, it really is very comfortable).Put a wash on….administrative nightmare…but all over now and should have nice clean clothes …..result!

We had quite a lazy day, the weather was nice.In the afternoon we had to go shopping(did you know the Italian for shopping is “shopping’)According to my Duolingo App.

However on our return , Tedi ,our dog, was upset at the campsite because there is a bird scarer going off nearby , he just wouldn’t settle and  started shivering .

Tedi  wanted to go for a drive in the car again.So I made a fajita pizza to have when we got back and we went out to Hollywell Bay.Result. I got some lovely pictures and found out I can still climb sand dunes albeit unwillingly.

It turned out a nice evening and I remembered an old joke about every time you wanted to go to a pub in England it was closed,(long ago opening hours were quite restricted.)

Economics here says it’s not worth staying open for one or two people.Also I think they were hit quite badly by the storms as they had signs up not to use the glass doors at the back as they get damaged by high winds.

We have a little terrier,

As handsome as can be,

He is a bit of a worrier

Despite  being ten ,his mental age is three

Loud noises make him shiver

He  needs to be burped after a meal,

Won’t get his tummy wet in a river,

He looks to say it’s no big deal,

I’m never too sure if he’s in a huff

Do you think I’m a blooming seal?

Or basically telling us we’re off our chuff,

Tedi knows what’s best for him,

Holidays he has to put up with us,

His water bowl must be full to the brim,

If we argue, a paw comes up and says don’t make a fuss.

It’s best to try and understand,

Afterall,we said we signed up to lend him a hand.
