This last week actually seems to have been quite eventful! On Wednesday I went into town with S&V to run a few errands, highlight of the day was probably the excellent pint (Old Grey's cloudyish cider) and pasty (Cornish Miners lamb & mint) and played Snakes and Ladders at the Front pub (Vera won, Silje came second, I failed). But yes, that was highlight.
Thursday was certainly interesting! Since the Pirate Party on Maenporth beach was postponed a week or so back, it then reappeared as Thursday... so we thought "YAAAY!" and got on our pirate garb (not that I'm ever out of it, being a pirate captain and all...) and trooped off into town grabbing Faye on the way. Gathered firewood at the graveyard near Swanpool and theeen..... got bored walking to Maenporth so had a fire with just the 5 of us on Swanpool. It was ok... pretty hot. But then police made us put it out (bastards, but they really were nice about it). Then 2 random guys appeared from the dark and we all lay on the hot sand which was now there due to big fire + water + covered in sand = naturalish radiator. Ohhhh yeah. Then a bunch of metallers came along - some guy from 3rd year animation (I think) called Roland (Ro for short) and his friends from London. We were quite drunk, so Vera & I (at least I seem to remember us 2 being the 2) made them take off their tops (to which the 2 previous guys were like "erm, have they never seen a cock before?" XD). But yes.
One guy called Yoni was especially nice, he was one of the London lot though originally from Israel and his brother was there as well. When the other 3 went home, Vera & I went back to Ro(land)'s place and topped the night off... with absinthe. My head was NOT good the next day.
And so the next day was Friday. Hangover central (rum & cider would have been fine, but no, I just had to have that absinthe.
Dying dying dying, and then making food for us 3 and also Faye who we dragged up here to the wilderness which is Tremough. Watched a BBC drama called "North and South" which Silje bought pretty much solely because it had a rather lovely looking Richard Armitage in it. OH AND IT WAS SO GOOD.
Saturday was sleepy times and then "Black Tie" bonfire etc on Gyll, that was quite nice, just fire and stars and not too much alcohol. Mmm.
Sunday was a little more boozing, but not much. Sitting outside on helipad with Umut and then in mine to watch Caligula.
I CAN OFFICIALLY TELL YOU ALL, THAT CALIGULA IS REALLY NOT PORN. Not a cock in sight, and I don't think I saw one proper sex scene. The reviews are all wrong. It's just weird and a tad confusing.
Monday. Pizza express (ohh classy) breakfast with S&V. I had "Padana" which is all goats cheese & spinach & balsamic vinegar & caramalized red onion & OHHHH SO GOOD.
On the bus there (Number 2 Penzance - Falmouth, double decker with me on dock deck wheee!) there was an old chap & his wife (or general female aquaintence). I swear I heard him say "You don't see many nuns, do you?" and "Theres some loose children". Most odd... old person speak, or just my hearing?
Gymed it up on Tuesday with Vera, felt good after that. Then I ran to Asda (pretty much) with Loz. On the way out I gave my trolley to some guy looking for a trolley, he gave me £1 for it. So I earned £1 as our trolley had never had money in it (dunno why). I was then like "Uh? WOW!" but then I heard running and now rather angry man shouting "GIVE ME BACK MY POUND!" so I did with the truthful apology of "sorry, I didn't even think about it" sort of thing, and so he swore at me gave me an evil look and after grabbing £1 from my hand (which I was offering back!) he ran away. Silly angry man.
AND NOW WEDNESDAY, never fear, a long boring entry this week means a shorter one next week (you hope).
Today it was a grim and gloomy day; the wind was howling, the rain was... splattering, and Andy and Marcel had chickened out of coming on the "Illustration picnic adventure to St Mawes via ferry" as it was probably too wet. Wusses :P
Still need to do [4inch].... stuck in a rut.
So Vera, a rather hungover Silje & I got on the ferry and rode the choppy waves across the big natural harbour of Falmouth. Fun stuff! Pretty wet, and when we got there we instantly saw "The Rising Sun" - a public house. Ohhhh I love "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals (who is it originally by? I swear it's not them, but I love their version).
So we sat in there, and I had a pint of pear Rattler and we waited for Loz to appear on the next ferry. Then walkies to St Mawes castle, and fun there ending in a little picnic sheltered behind a wall thing (windyish, but out of the rain).
Then at the end of the day we came back, and once back, the weather cheered up. Pshh.
Evening in.
Anyway, time to stop boring.
Not got much else to say, and nothing much to show, but heres a link to a lovely photographer:

Check out "Amelia's world - Animal affinity" bit. Lovely lovely lovely. Youngish girl photographed by her mother with various animals, some of them are better than others, but.... NOICE.
Photos of St Mawes will most likely appear on my Facebook. Mmm. G'night.
