Just Humans Being...

St Ewe is another small village in our parish & is about 2 miles away from where we live. The country fair is a big annual event & our transition group had a stall, so we went along to help out. This is the first time we have visited the fair - we are not really keen on seeing animals being made to perform & this was the main attraction. As it was our day off & we were still exhausted from the last couple of days, we didn't turn up until the afternoon... After torrential rain early morning, it turned out to be quite a hot day... Dog Show Looking for our stall... The muddy man was saving or trying to save goals... Tractor Plate smashing... Such a bizarre waste of crockery! Craft marquee - people selling their wares... Alpacas on parade. Not really a typical British event... Shire horses... Cute lambs to look at & stroke. For us, it's sad to think what happens next to them... Traditional pipe organ which was playing 'Is this the way to Amarillo

Every year it seems to come as a shock just how busy we get in August. We are working incredibly long hours... Holiday home owners are heading down & all the properties we take of are full. So there's lots of cleaning to be done, things to fix & guests (not all nice either) to deal with. We are getting very tired, but happy to see money coming in... Occasionally, we get time to pop home for lunch between jobs. (Kitties like us being home) All our work is very close to where we live, so the furthest we travel is just over 2 miles!   Sime's colourful lunch... On the days we don't manage to get home - we still have a break... And eat lots of fruit & nuts. This week started out lovely & hot, although the sea was really choppy... Portmellon - we seem to spend more time down there, than at home! Portmellon at night... The Donks  We stopped for a chat with their human friends after work... They are all wearing some fancy headgear to stop the flies from

Working all day sometimes means snacking on fruit & nuts until we get home... When we can enjoy 2 meals in one... Lunch - houmous, salad & pitta. Dinner - Chickpea & vegetable curry with turmeric basmati rice. All on 1 plate... Delicious!

A number of holiday let guests having been less than fastidious in their end of holiday clean ups, will now have to deal with... Our very own cleaner... Mr Smith. But underneath the shades... He's still a cuddly little bunny! Anyway, we'd better get cracking... Have a happy Saturday! Kay & Sime xx

Apologies for yesterday's post... For those of you who don't know Sime - he is a silly billy & you really shouldn't take much notice of anything he says! Anyway, here's some photos of the last few days... Gorran Haven The beach was packed today - didn't look much like fun to us... A very chilled out Floobs... (He's Sime's baby boy) Our new garden friend... We call him Froggy the Toad! And Waspy the Bee! Sime's home made chilli & turmeric rice. We use turmeric a lot - it has fantastic medicinal properties... It inhibits the growth of cancer cells, protects the liver from toxins, can dissolve gallstones, lower cholesterol, alleviate joint swellings, increase joint flexibility & reduce menstrual pain.    Leftover chilli, rice & salad with baked sweet potatoes & courgettes. We bake the potatoes dry & sprinkled the courgettes with smoked paprika & soy sauce. The view from work yesterday afternoon... A dull, but humid day!
