Nothin' to Lose

Evening all.

Well its day two of our annual pilgrimage to Northumbria and so far very little in the way of arguing, fighting or disagreements....except when we play cards, then it seems to be cheat or lose, the two biggest shysters are the octagenarian and the SIL who seem to believe cheating is an art form.

Up early this am (ludicrously early actually,' wet the bed and had to get up' early,' getting late and not really any point going to bed' early, 'setting fire to a house and having to evacuate' early,' ' jumping into a bird costume and pretending i'm a giant lark' early.......

basically, really early!!

Missed the dawn by a matter of minutes but enjoyed watching the activity of the fishermen getting their boats and their gear ready for the day.

Managed to get into the sea for an hour or so this afternoon but the waves didn't really want to perform and it was pouring down, so bodyboarding postponed for a bit...

also very very cold in the North Sea,

oh yea, very cold,

mind numbingly,chest tightening,finger freezing, scrotum shrinkingly cold.

and now there remains just myself and Bacchus to drain the last dregs of the day and imbue some warmth into still chilled and numb extremities...

well, thats my explanation at least, and i'm sticking to it!

night all
