The family came down for the now traditional week by the sea - and had their usual week of sunshine too! Well apart from Thursday which was warm, overcast and included a little bit of rain. Col took lots of photos of the littles in the Playground.
The youngest was interested in the Moth Trap Hotel. We had a dramatic guest returning night after night to its comfy eggbox bed. It was a Poplar Hawk Moth, and she did a great drawing of it that will appear in the Captain's Log in time.
The oldest is now a glamorous blonde, long-legged teenaged, superglued to her phone, but very pleasant when she manages to extract herself - occasionally
And my sister and I continue to grow older - but still manage to enjoy life and be creative. And still work, in Nute's case. So much so, that work rang her up twice during her stay, asking for some help, even though she was on her holiday.
We also got a moth new to our balcony - a Willow Stick, see photo above. That would not be a bad name for a super-model, Ms Willow Stick.
Now I have to begin my cataract operations, which are going to take up quite a lot of my time over the next couple of months. They ask you to be very careful in the week following the op - two weeks ideally.
I can't say I am looking forward to them, but I am grateful that they are on offer through the NHS.
I also had to ring up and make another appointment for a blood test - as requested. That will be in September. Life seems like nothing but hospital appointments, these days. But I must be, and am, very grateful that all this help is still available, given my age.
