This is Molly
...Chief thrower-upper, hair-depositer, poo-skidder, early morning waker-upper and generally downright smelly, cute, annoying and very fluffy feline. There is something a little sinister in her expression, a sort of "I may decide to kill you later"warning, but she wouldn't hurt a fly, or a spider. I have tried to get her to hunt spiders but she just fixes them with an evil glare before moving on. She is my little girl, sorry to get gooey, but there you have it.
Another weekend gone, and I am a la work. You can imagine it better now eh! So I can't spend too long here as there is stuff to be getting on with. We went out on the boat yesterday in the rough ocean waves, we were buffeted and splashed and Nick nearly sent me overboard at one point by falling over on to me. The waves were fairly large and choppy, and at one point we were going at the perfect speed and managed to surf them!! That was kind of very cool.
Backtracking, on Saturday we went up in a little aeroplane which was so great! I had bought my husband a trial flying lesson for his birthday and they let me sit in the back and come along for the ride. We went up the west coast of Guernsey before heading across the sea to Alderney. The sky was clear, the sun was shining and reflecting off the sea, it was an absolutely beautiful day and we had such an amazing view of the islands which seemed so small. Nick took the controls and did various manouvers, turning about, going up and down, speeding up and slowing down, it felt like being in a small mini in the sky as the inside is so small! I took lots of photos which I will try to put on facebook at some point. We flew at a couple of thousand feet, looped Alderney and came back along the East of Guernsey so that we could look down at our house. The pilot, Ian, was brilliant and I felt totally safe the entire time.
That afternoon we spent most of it at the Terrace drinking milkshake, before heading to the Boathouse for tea with a few friends. A lovely day.
