Day 242 Pencils

Tuesday 30 August
I've had a bit of a dull day today. THe weather was grey & still but the sea was flat so the decision was taken to get the boat out.  It's not very big and is crowded 5 up so I opted to stay behind and take the opportunity to do some cleaning and tidying up in the van..  The others enjoyed themselves but came back shivering! Mia was very proud of herself having caught several mackerel and pollack as well as taking a turn steering the boat.  Once everyone had warmed up with a hot shower & the boat was tidied away we sat down to a late lunch of the aforesaid mackerel & some barbecued meat for the non fish eaters.  The mackerel was delicious, as it always is when caught and eaten on the same day. There's no bought fish that can beat it.


Sadly Huw Mel & Mia had to go home today so after the food they packed and left.  The place seemed very dull and quiet without them. We had a quiet evening watching tv and reading then I remembered I'd not taken a photo! Bother! Looking around the van for inspiration I spotted Mia's pencils so they became todays subject.  I'm not sure if I prefer the colour or black & white shot
