Oops No Battery.

We've been out for a good walk around Morte Point today. I took one slightly blurry picture of Lundy before my battery gave up which was doubly annoying as I had swapped over batteries before leaving home not realising that for once my system had failed and the spare wasn't charged. We did have some very good views of a sparrow hawk hovering close by while hunting. It stayed in one spot for a very long time and I could have got some good pictures if ........... . The sun was shining and it was quite warm once out of the chill wind. Next time I must remember to take a container to pick blackberries as there are still plenty around. We watched a couple who had picked lots into a carrier bag which is something I wouldn't recomend, squashed berries dripping out of the bottom would be my concern. The usual seals were sunning themselves out on the rocks being watched by people up on the cliffs. It was so clear looking across to Lundy we could make out all the main buildings, the church, pub, lighthouses and even the buildings at the base of the old lighthouse but having given my 40x binoculars to Peter (because I can't get both eyes working together with them) my 25x binoculars didn't quite show Stoney Croft against the lighthouse buildings. Can't wait to go back.

As promised me in my shalwar kameez. It's really comfortable to wear and I can imagine how practical it would be in a hot climate. I'll wear it to school on Friday as part of out India topic. I've just turned our central heating on and I've realised that my fingers are getting very cold. Time for the fingerless gloves when I'm on my pc in this cold sitting room. I spent a couple of hours sorting out my planning for the week this afternoon, result - 17 pages, not all mine but I need to know everything that's on them and I still need to do 2 pages of daily plans each day for me and my TA (part time teaching assistant).

Off now for a relaxing evening watching The 300.
