We took Rosie out and were joined by another village dog. I have been downloading a UK programme “How to take stunning pictures”. Who knows my pictures may improve. The one on pets suggested you photograph parts of their body, showing texture, which may make them more interesting. Ah well, I gave it a try! Only having a basic Panasonic Lumix I don’t think the quality will ever reach the standard on the TV programme with their £2K+ cameras. The morning clouds were stunning.
Sadly the Kulakisz 5 saga continues. I can only try and imagine how these poor pensioners are feeling at this time. It really is beyond belief that this is allowed to continue and no one seems to be able/want to do anything about it. Is it ABLE or WANT TO? see link BUT Akfinans bank will potentially make a profit of around £800,000 from a £40,000 loan, so you can see why some people would not want this to change.
I was still feeling ‘under the weather’. We had decided to go and buy paint and plants but didn’t get very far because I was feeling drained. We did get as far as buying some of the sealant for under the terrace. Trees and plants another day.
In the evening the rain came down, just as Mal was saying to delay buying the trees as the ground was too hard. That excuse won’t hold water now (excuse the pun) as we had a lot of rain and a fantastic storm. I just love sitting under the terrace watching the lightning. I had just finished cooking dinner when the inevitable happened, a power cut. A candle lit dinner during which we had the largest, nearest clap of thunder I have ever heard. It made both of us jump and even Rosie ran outside to see what it was. Normally she is not bothered in the slightest by storms, unlike our last Golden Retriever who would start shaking before we were even aware a storm was on its way.
The power cut only lasted about an hour but then of course we were left without internet.
