Changes…
Bored with the set-up I had, so decided to change….. I hope this isn’t too bad for my limited readership!
Here is the full picture where the header came from… As you will possibly note, the new blog format allows me to publish slightly bigger pictures, so the lighthouses can be even bigger for you, Duke RobinO.
It is a picture of the beach on the southern part of Cozumel. Pretty horrific, eh?
You know I love sunsets. You know I love fridge magnets! What better way to celebrate than to have a picture encapsulating both!
I'm Really Good....
This fridge magnet is one of the flag of Cornwall. Yes, we have a county that has its own flag. Who do they think they are? Anyway, I had to buy a flag in the form of a fridge magnet – no tat too precious – but how to photograph it for the fans of the fridge magnet cognoscenti. On a glorious Thursday night, just a week ago, we found ourselves on a cliff overlooking Kynance Cove as the sun went down…
So the keys prop up the magnet, the grass adds to the majesty, and the sun sets behind. Kernow forever!!!!!

Map of the Day – 14 October
From the mists of time, a couple of the most memorable days of my life were spent here…..
Ah Yes… The wildlife….
This was spotted (looking at the map) on the loop of the road at the top (nr Memorial Gate) in January 2005. A truly exhilarating moment. Especially when it looked at us straight through the windscreen…..
Er, Sir Peter – it has been four and a half years, sir….. Any chance of the video footage of this?

Just amazing to be there…

Three Curiosities…

A Very Bizarre Item in Pets At Home
On the subject of the last picture. If the American Petsmart has an Obama chew toy, can you let me know. This seems a touch disrespectful, don’t you think?
On to another amazing instalment of “Just why did you buy that tat?” and this one is one of my own personal purchases so I can blame no-one else.
In 2004, on a cold December afternoon, I left Blighty for the Cape, with Good Hope in my heart. Having seen an ostrich, woken up a neighbourhood just by ringing a doorbell, put a Fez on, had big beer, and watched England lose as my lower leg turned to a rasher of bacon, our good fortune that the end of the test came with the removal of the tablecloth from the top of the southern city’s most famous monument meant we could get our arses up there and see for ourselves. You could see where Mandela was held from the top. His freedom would have been in jeopardy if he’d seen the souvenir shop at Table Mountain. First some nice pics.
Looking up - with the hint of the tablecloth..
Looking Down From The Top...
Isn’t it just amazing.
I then thought it would be a great idea to purchase this. Sir Peter was appalled…
For those of you too stunned for words, it is a bottle, neatly modelled on the arm of the Ikea Garden Furniture I assembled (note, it is still standing) containing genuine, so they say, rocks from the slopes of Table Mountain. There are no obvious signs of “Made in China” to disabuse us of this notion, but the very idea that people are scooping up mounds of gravel to insert into appalling bottles is so utterly preposterous for me not to believe that the grey detritus in there isn’t from the slopes of a slag heap just outside Shenzen.
However, this truly monstrous souvenir has now adorned two fridges in the house, and is a lock as the front door resident (top left corner). Cape Town has so much to offer, and all I bought was this – not a t-shirt, not a clock, not a key ring. A bottle. With gravel in.
Oh dear!

Pittsburgh Pirates at Washington Nationals – Boxscore Here
This game was played at venerable old RFK Stadium, in the days pre-their new ball park, and we had cracking seats on the top tier behind home plate. I think this was the most enjoyable game we went to, even though it took a while to get out of the car park. A great night, though..

Number 2 of the 5 I have been so far. San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies -
Boxscore here – A Close Game…
The tickets, like at Yankee Stadium, were at nosebleed height – so high I got vertigo. The stewards asked me about my accent – which is pretty common. The game was over very early, as the Phillies failed to get a hit off Matt Morris until two outs in the 6th. By then the Giants were up 13-0. The weather closed in and we left early to return to the Cape of the Fifth Month…
I wanted this game to see the great Barry Bonds. He did sweet FA, he didn’t need to. But, I’ve seen him play…
