>The sun is shining most of the time and it isn’t raining, but the storm clouds are still chasing across the country. We walked all the beaches. Dear Charlie insisted on swimming, as often as possible. Can you imagine a soaking wet dog that just can’t wait to get back into the water? I bought oysters and plaice for dinner.
Lots of phone calls during the day, trying to sort out Bruce’s thesis and the comments from his External Examiner.
When back at Lisheen House, Charlie just went to bed, exhausted after his aqueous adventures. The oysters were great, just barely out of the sea. I went down to the Long Dock to read Clare Champion and for a chat and had some nice interaction with the locals. After a couple of hours, back to the house and cooked dinner – fried plaice with chips, remoulade and salad.
