Olympian alert

A nice view of Chesil Beach

Spent a lovely weekend away in Portland. A particular highlight was seeing a whole pub full of white-blond Swedes with ridiculously tanned skin and small noses. They were all trying out for a place in the Olympic sailing team. With them was an ex-Olympian who was training them up. His name was Steven but he said in Sweden that translates as 'stiff one'. I think that was some kind of misinformed chat-up line. It would never have worked. He was in his late fifties and looked like Michael Eavis.

Flowers and cats

Sweet Williams

Some kind of daisy

I know it's good for the garden but I'm fed up of rain. Luckily there are cats to cheer me up.

I'm starting with the dog in the mirror

Another Ebay classic picture. Cute face not for sale.

Say cheese





One of my favourite things is coming across people in Ebay photos. It's good when it's accidental but it's even better when they give us a smile, like this man...

Lovely Lisbon

He won the staring contest
This building makes me feel a bit seasick
Gormenghast!
Freezing mist
Not even I have this much tat

Way back in February I had a lovely weekend in Lisbon. The best bits were the incredible Palace of Pena, which seemed to be built on a load of impossible angles, and a weird bric-a-brac style bar.

I'm back

Oh dear, I've neglected this blog. I keep forgetting to take pictures of things. Silly really. Here's something from the internet. It's funny.
