Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 27 September 2020

Then tried as we passed the gate!

Typical view across the green countryside of the island- it's mostly farmland, apart from some light industry near the port of Holyhead which is a busy port mainly serving the ferries & cargo ships to Ireland.

Another church for AQ.

I spy another one coming up!

Gotcha!

First view of Cemaes Bay, from the tiny car park. We had to wait for someone to leave to get our car in. The tide is out, leaving quite a lot of smelly seaweed.

Morning all:  Quick look in as doc appt and Tai Chi this morning.  Much ado here over someone's tax returns.  As one pundit said last night, 'Many illegal immigrants are probably paying more in taxes than the President).

Lindybird:  You get A+ for effort photographing those churches  Lovely pix of the island - again. Thank you!

OG:  How nice to look back on a pleasant weekend.  Yes, front and back gardens tidy; just the normal maintenance now.  I'm contemplating taking out a New Zealand flax - they're lovely, but there wasn't a path in front of it when it was planted and now it's huge.  Its very long leaves can trip you up and are very tough and fibrous when you try to cut them back while the dead ones require brute force to dislodge them from the base of the plant.  I took out two some years back and the roots are the very devil to get out.  We'll see....

If we're lucky, Santa Barbara County will be upgraded to the Red level this week per Governor Newsom's edict re covid cases. We were in the Purple level (the naughtiest).  If we go to Red tomorrow, gyms and some other places can open at greatly reduced capacity; then, if we continue to reduce infections over a four-week period, we can move up to the Orange level, then on to the Yellow (but not holding my breath for that one).

Off to hose down; take care everyone.

Still no news from bjane.  I guess she's not on Facebook or anything.....
