Neither of us slept much during the night. After living in a single storey cottage and having difficulty leaving windows open at night, this is wonderful having huge bedrooms and windows open on a warm night. Our bedroom is at the front, opposite the lake. Bull frogs are territorial and so are peacocks, so we had on ongoing chorus, if you could call it that, all night long. The dawn chorus with all the birds started at 4.30. By 5 am I gave up, got up, left Mal trying to sleep as he had to go to work and Ellie and I went for a very peaceful long walk.
I later dropped Mal off at the station. Ellie usually comes with me but instead she went upstairs and layed on her bed, perhaps she was tired too! I guess we will get used to it.
Later in the morning Lou came round for a visit and a cup of tea.
Two of next doors dogs came in the garden in the afternoon. They play around with Ellie and then squeeze back through the fence! They are no problem.
Mal only worked half a day so I collected him from Canterbury station and we went and collected my coffee table from Demelza. Just what we needed to put a few things on in the dining room.
We both worked at a bit more clearing of the stinging nettles in the garden! This time I have bought some cream to put on the stings!
