>We had sushi breakfast. Went out for a walk with Charlie. Thick fog over the river Shannon, no wind. It’s amazing how different the soundscape is when it’s foggy. All sounds are more dampened and it’s quieter.

We made egg-and-sausage sandwiches and packed our gear for a day out. First beach was the one down by Donaha. A few times, the fog cleared and we got glimpses of sunshine, but as there was now wind the chill of the fog remained. After a couple of hours we drove to the other side of the peninsula, to Bridges of Ross, where we had our (late) lunch while watching the tide starting to come in. Still no real sunshine, but the scenery is spectacular in any weather. For a finish, we took the small back road out to Loop Head and then back to Lisheen house. Dinner tonight is stir-fried teriyaki salmon with vegetables and noodles.
