My Weekend
Good things about today: White Horse Hill, apple crumble, my mushroom risotto in the pub arriving with unexpected extra halloumi, thus meaning I won lunch.
Bad things about today: lanfykins introducing me to pocket frogs for the iPad, thus meaning that any hope I ever had of living a normal, functional and productive life vanished, in an instant. If anyone else is playing, I'm down as Annwfyn, as per usual.
Thank you, ksirafai & lanfykins for visiting.
I also note, it was awesome to see kathminchin, becky_spence & windzswept yesterday as well. Lounge picnic was definitely For The Win.
And finally, have some pics of White Horse Hill today.
I had forgotten just how much I love that place. Today was a particularly awesome day to visit; the sun was bright, the wind was crisp and we got to see the local farmer and his sheep dog rounding up the sheep on the hill. I remembered how fond I am of border collies and how much I like seeing them at work.
Then we walked to the horse, and around the top of the castle, having to stop half way as Sarah worked out we were going widdershins (thus, apparently, proving that both Ginnie and I have some kind of taint in our souls), and back again. Someone had left a bunch of daffodils up by the horse. I'm not sure why, but in my mind it was clearly some form of offering.
Sarah dropped me off back at Dad's afterwards, and now I'm home, pottering around an empty house and feeling remarkably zen about the world. I should totally go to see historic sites more often.
