Yesterday, I’d seen my neighbours doing some cleaning up of the concrete platform at the side of the building. And so I went to see what was going on.
I’m not quite sure what this is that they have erected, and I’ve no idea as to its purpose. But I’m sure that I’ll find out in early course.
There weren’t all that many people out on land, but the seas were pretty crowded today.
There were all kind sof things out there this afternoon, including this beautiful trawler heading in towards the harbour.
The sea was absolutely beautiful this afternoon.
It wasn’t just trawlers out there either;
There were a few smaller boats out there with two or three people in them, fishing with rod and line. Just like these two here in this zodiac.
I spent some time out there watching them, but they didn’t seem to be catching anything. It’s clearly not everyone’s lucky day.
While I was looking at a couple of boats out to sea off the Brittany coast near St Malo, I could see something moving on the horizon.
Thinking that it might be a ship heading into port at St Malo I photographed it and back here, I cropped and enlarged it.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a ship at all. It was just a boat with a rather large sail. The sail doesn’t look very yacht-like, so it might nevertheless be something interesting.
While I was out admiring the shipping in the Baie de Mont St Michel, I fell in with a couple of tourists.
Having established that I was from the area, they asked me several questions about the town and the fishing industry here. And luckily, I was able to help them out.
It all brings back many happy memories of a previous existence when I did this for a living.
Back here? i decided to start on the notes for 2016 and, as it happens, I can’t find them anywhere.
I know that I must have copied them out somewhere because I have already written several web pages about events on that voyage.
But where they might be, I don’t have the least clue.
Tea was the falafel with steamed vegetables and cheese sauce followed by the last of the apple pie.
Of course, I went for my evening walk as usual, and there was no-one about at all except for a solitary girl smoking a cigarette and a couple of people carrying spotlights out of the theatre.
A couple of people were enjoying the late evening sun on the beach at Plat Gousset and I don’t blame them because it really was a nice evening.
There were a few youngsters too hanging around by the cherry-picker. I must really make an effort to see what that is being used for.
But that’s for another time, I reckon. Tonight I’m going to try to have an early night and a decent sleep.
