Our last weekend
As you can see we all had lobster yesterday. It's the first time I have tackled eating a whole lobster and managed reasonably well, I think. Michael had a huge pan on a calor gas cooker in the garden and the lobsters were boiled until they floated. (That's how you tell they are cooked apparently.)
We went over to Peggy and Andrews ( neighbours in Early Red Circle,) when we got home, as they had invited us to a small family get together they were having. One of their relatives had driven over 3000 miles from somewhere near Seattle!
Everyone was talking about hurricane Bill. Peter Moore from next door, had been down to the beach to see the waves, which had been predicted to be quite high but he said they were only about 6 inches.
It rained in the night and I have just been out to see how Pat's groundwork coped. Everything looks fine. All we really have to do now is put down the white stones we have bought to cover the sand outside, and put up the roller blind and mirror that I have bought for the 'Downstairs bedroom,' as we have decided to call it now. Pat hung the two doors on the closet separately yesterday (as the folding system was broken and rather awkward)and they now operate much more efficiently and look much better. Will post a few more pictures when everything's done.
