10.30 am. This day has started off with a bang! The sun is shining so brightly I spent a few minutes around 8:30 out on the balcony – faces east so I get the morning sun! Everyone else was still in bed so it was beautifully quiet. Now the maintenance men are out mowing grass – the greenest grass you’ll ever see. Hundreds of gulls are on the water and huge areas of green seaweed are floating around – some going out with the tide, some sticking to the beach sand. Looks like one big beautiful soup!
Supper last night included quail’s eggs – about the size of big grapes – boiled, not raw. Surprisingly tasty with the salmon and something else stringy but not cabbage – couldn’t identify it. Like coleslaw. And a cheesecake fit for the goddesses! Even me!
Breakfast of muesli, apricots, almonds, walnuts, grapefruit, salmon, apples, pineapple, melon, - need I say more! And the wonderful Irish brown soda bread so full of goodies it must be either very very healthy or very very (shades of Danny Ford!) high in calories – maybe both.
Just now had a lovely time out on the Virgin’s Head point gathering in the clean, fresh air and the sounds of the ocean, - returned to my room where it had been cleaned and for the first time – she left the balcony sliding door open! That’s how nice the weather is this morning. What a wonderful final day here. I’ll probably spend most of it outdoors.
Margie is coming tomorrow to take me “home” and we’ll spend some time exploring our way back to Kinsale. More about that after it happens. Kathy arrives Sunday. She and I go to Dublin Wednesday, back home Sunday, then to Cork for one night. And so the fun goes on and on and on………….
More later.
