Slept well -- even if I did wake up a couple of times too early in the morning. Woke up around 9:30 to the strange sensation of light... and someone else in the room. I rolled over, slid my eyeshade up (hooray, again, for eyeshades), and looked at Wil... who also was peeking at me. We sat up -- carefully -- to find William at the foot of the bed. How long had he been there? He sweetly offered us coffee... running back to ask me what I would like... and then scampering off while we quickly got dressed before he could come back. Well, at least he didn't jump on the bed or start purring, like Squeek.
Got ready and out the door with Tony and Sue for the drive to Penrhyn Bay -- which is just as lovely as I remembered. It's such a treat to be driven around! Oh, and we stopped at Shergill's to buy 10 samosas and half a pound of veggie pakora -- heavenly -- which we nibbled on as we drove. Once settled in the gorgeous bungalow, we headed off again, to the Penrhyn Arms, an award-winning pub to try several ciders as part of the Great Welsh Cider and Perry Festival. (Yes, these are my people.)
Wil and I had two pints each -- it's a tribute to their strength that I cannot remember the name of either of the first round them. For our second round, Wil had a Black Rat or something like that, while I had a crisp, refreshing perry. Lovely! Then home, where we decided to go out for a walk near the Little Orme to see the sea lions (who weren't there).
We came home, relaxed a little, and then ordered waaaaay too much Chinese takeaway. Lovely, as usual. Within half an hour of dinner I was nodding off -- too much good food (and, of course, cider). So Wil made us go out for a brisk walk in the twilight to get some fresh air -- which was lovely.
Sure, it's late (half past midnight), but it does feel late and soon I shall be in slumberland. It's lovely to be here!
