Walked the dogs over the mountain today, it had rained last night but only briefly so heavy raindrops were still caught on various webs. It’s like poetry or something

Anti-austerity
Daughter and I went into town today to join an anti-austerity march. She is quite interested in politics and this was her first march. It was quite small, and the shoppers looked at us like freaks, but it was good to introduce her to the idea of protest.
Then afterwards we had a liquid nitrogen prepared ice cream and went to the museum. So, quite a varied day.
How does this thing work
Confused selfie down the Knap with daughter as she encourages dogs to go in the sea.
Make a little birdhouse
Daughter had to make a birdhouse for school. We fashioned it after Castell Coch. I know, you’re not sure if you’re looking at the real castle or our model, so just to let you know, this is our model. Uncanny.
Hay festival
Popped up to the Hay Festival today with daughter to see [url=http://www.levisonwood.com/]Levison Wood[/url] talk about walking the Nile. We was engaging and fun, and had that whole dashing British explorer thing.
I have been to the village of Hay before but not the festival. It made me realise that it’s ok to arrange one talk, pop up there and come home (it’s about an hour away from us). I had always considered it a major, 2-day exercise before. There were lots of interesting talks, but I found the festival a bit disappointing, I was expecting lots of stalls, but it was mainly food and one bookshop. Still, a nice day out.
Black spot
Looks like one of my roses has a case of [url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=270]black spot[/url]. Best get treating.
Posse
Went horseriding up the Brecon Beacons today. The weather stayed fair, and there were a few of us on the ride, so we could pretend we were cattle rustling in Montana, if you squinted hard enough.
Complex desires
Went to the [url=http://artcarbootique.com/]Art Car Bootique[/url] down at Chapter today. Lots of fun, arty booths, and a German beer festival. Had a great time.
Still Life #2
I call this one “Women of Algiers” – I’m hoping it will fetch a few hundred million.
Still life
I call this one “Light on fruit”
