Saturday, swans & satellites

A belated post for yesterday.

Woke up to rain, rain and more rain, but cheered up when looking out the front we saw this bedraggled but proud family.

Got a little awkward later on when I wanted to empty the loo as dad didn't want to let me past. Had to wait for them to move away before rushing along the jetty.

Not so intimidating was the family of ducks that took their place later.

As for satellites, well I took the risk of buying a dish for the holiday. Well, it's girt big and I was wondering if I'd made a mistake. I spent the afternoon putting it all together and, joy of joys, we were able to watch the Trooping of the Colour, and in HD. I also saved quite a few pennies by doing it all myself, the only trouble is, finding somewhere to store it.

I don't think Brigid will mind where I store it as long as she can watch Wimbledon when it comes on.

Must admit that it looks like Cape Canaveral when it's all set up and working. Yippee.
