2010:365:235 Holidays are ...

… almost over.

 It was too wet this morning to keep the camera out for long – so there are just a couple of snaps of a large sedimentary boulder on the beach.  In any weather the shore is a good place to be. 
Once back home it was time for breakfast and then to work out how to spend the remainder of today!
Making a list is often a good place to begin … but my brain wouldn’t go much beyond the coffee breaks!
The first was breakfast and on a pouring wet morning what could be more comforting than a fried egg on a bit of wheaten bread?  Yum, yum!  And that was, of course, followed by coffee.
Vacuum cleaning is now also done!  We’re getting through the list fairly well.
It will be of historical interest to show the cleaner that was used.  This is a museum piece!!  I'm guessing that it goes back at least thirty five years … but will have to ask my Wee Sister … she gave it to me a long time ago.  The Stowaway is neat with all the bits stored in the container below the machine.  Maybe the reason for its longevity is the infrequency of use?  However, it works well and now my only concern is finding somewhere that stocks replacement bags! 
Having become distracted (as usual) I now have a pencil case full of nicely sharpened pencils ... and so the pottering day continues … it must soon be time for another coffee!

Today I awake and God is before me.
At night, as I dreamt, he summoned the day;
for God never sleeps, but patterns the morning
with slithers of gold or glory in grey.

I came by to find you hard at work with your museum piece! With what little vacation is left, don't work too hard!

Also, you seem to have a lot of rain...is this always typical? Maybe that's what makes Ireland so green? Just never had thought abuot it!
