Misty.

The sea mist is still here. I understand the rest of the UK including airports have been fogbound too. Not good for those people going on holiday.

We're giving ourselves a bit of a break at the moment but I still like to get a couple of small things done each day. The first job was to get the rubbish and recycling out as collections are different this week. They had said that if necessary they would prioritise the general waste collection  and that is what seems to have happened. The lorry that does the rubbish and food waste came round mid-morning but so far the glass and general recycling hasn't been collected. I'll bring the recycling inside overnight rather than let the rats and seagulls get to it.

My next job was to take a few things up into the loft. Much to my despair I found some condensation up there and I've had to spread the tarpaulin over everything again. I'm getting to hate that loft.

Then came Welsh homework. We had gone through most of it with our friends but when I came to type it up to send to our tutor it needed a few changes. There's still a 50 word postcard to write but my brain needed a rest.

Last of all I had a go at making some fudge since I bought some reduced double cream yesterday. I'd seen a recipe on-line that looked quite simple, only sugar and cream plus salt to flavour though I changed that for a couple of slugs of Bailey's. The hardest part was bringing it up to temperature (120C). The meat thermometer started beeping at 100C so I swapped over to a sugar thermometer which I had to keep wiping to see through the steam. At least I had chosen my biggest saucepan but the boiling sugar looked quite volcanic. I'm just hoping that I didn't spoil it with the Bailey's and waiting for it to cool enough to cut.

Earlier this morning I had got quite excited to hear Borth mentioned on Radio 4. It was an interview with Mared Pugh-Evans, a young harpist who was recently appointed to be the royal harpist. And she came from Borth.
