Yesterday we visited Castletown, Port St Mary, Port Erin and Peel.
Peel is so far the main contender for somewhere to move to because I’ve been in the supermarket in all of these places and Peel’s demographic clearly likes to cook, the ingredients that supermarket stock were far more varied. The others were very limited.
Today we’ll go to the north of the island and go to Ramsey. A bit more reconnaissance checking out their food outlets and the general vibe then drawing up a shortlist for some more intensive research. Exciting

Finally got a decent amount of rain yesterday. We both got pretty drenched on our evening walk.
Some of the water from our jackets ended up on the bathroom floor, and so of course I slipped and did a classic cartoon-style feet-in-the-air-flat-on-my-back fall.
I miss the days when I could hop back up after a fall and keep going without having to check and ensure all my limbs are intact first, but luckily I’m ok.
Scraped my hand and my elbow, and quite sore today, but I’m otherwise unscathed. It’s a good thing I don’t live alone - do you know how hard it is to clean and dress a wound on your own elbow?

I’m glad you’re ok, Herbaceous !
Work, and get everything packed to head out tomorrow. One of the advantages of working from home is, not only can I pack and do those sorts of prep tasks off and on today, but MrsT has agreed to drive for a bit tomorrow, so we can actually leave a day early - I’ll just connect up to my work-provided hotspot and sit in the passenger seat with my laptop.
Am I on vacation? Am I working? YES!!!

Booked today off so could have a long weekend and rest my achy body. Washing is on the line, cat's tray cleaned so now chilling on the sofa with a cuppa. No plans for the rest of the day.

We’re trekking (by car, of course) right across the heart of the Adirondacks, through lovely towns and villages and hamlets like Old Forge, Paul Smiths, Blue Mountain Lake, Tupper Lake, etc.
Most of the drive today will be done with the climate control off and the windows down, so we can enjoy the most intense pine tree smell I’ve ever encountered.
No plans at all today, because the "I'll fix the air conditioner in 20 minutes" promise from the mechanic has now become 48 hours...
Finally, after calling 4 times, I decided to take a taxi to pick up the car. Have to say that the air conditioning is working perfectly - not that I use it much. It's now raining and is forecast to rain for the next 2 hours, so I'm sure I can whip up something with the head of broccoli that I bought!

Slipped away from party time to come and watch the women’s England rugby team.
England V’s the USA. America has a surprisingly good womens rugby team, including America’s Ilona Maher at number 13.
She came over and played for Bristol and is something of a Rugby star over here!
