Everyone Is Fishing.

Sunshine all the way today but the strong winds blowing from the north-east were bitterly cold.

Seeing many gannets fishing on the far side of the reef this morning we knew there were plenty of fish around. And at last I got to see a dolphin too. The fish had moved to our side of the reef and by watching the gannets who in turn were watching the dolphin underwater I was able to get some reasonable photos when the dolphin surfaced. 

I didn't have a very good night last night. Tasty as the fish was either the onions, the garlic or the smoked fish gave me indigestion. Peter was fine but I don't feel like eating any of those for a while. That's the trouble with my diet which consists of very plain food, it makes other foods harder to tolerate. Tonight I'll be having fruit, a mix of fresh and frozen, with low-fat Greek yoghurt for my supper. For protein I've already had plenty of mixed nuts and of course we had our usual porridge for breakfast.

Peter was supposed to go rowing this morning, the conditions were perfect but unfortunately several people pulled out at the last moment and replacements couldn't be found so the row was cancelled. He does go and play pool on Saturday afternoons so all was not lost.

After getting more washing out on the line I did lots of tidying up in the back garden. The conditions were perfect for hoeing the vegetable beds and then I removed as many of the tiny seedlings growing between all the paving slabs that run down the length of the garden. My last job was to make sure all the clematis were tied in to the trellis.

This was the Lumishrooms last night with a couple of the bigger night 'flowers' in the background. I'd put them in the stachys where they looked fine but today I've moved them to amongst the bluebells under some hydrangeas to see if that would be a better place for them. When I looked out of the window last night the mushroom were flashing on and off like Christmas lights or roadworks as I hadn't realised there were two settings. I quickly changed the setting to just 'on' which was much calmer.
