Steve And Kai,

called round in the late morning,

 they were going to Wing Yip and kindly offered to take us there as well,

 driving into Croydon, building work was going on in earnest,

and yes the glass fronted building does lean out towards the road! shopping finished, Steve and Kai dropped us off at home,

later Diana was off to work, I switched on the television to find that Zulu was going to start in HD, so I just had to watch that!

next, one from the excellent series, Cornwall: This Fishing Life, and when I say excellent, this series is on my 'must watch' list,

it was nice to see Newlyn in the sunshine, the last time we were in the town next door, Penzance, it was blowing a gale!

 as it was Saturday, I sat at the table for my evening meal,

'Cheers!', for tonight a ham salad, just before 11.00 Diana called, so off to the bus stop for me,

after arriving home and a coffee it was feet up for Doom, a sci-fi horror that takes place on Mars, it had everything going for it, but somehow just did not build up the suspense that I thought it would, so with he end of that we were off to bed.

Our First Full Day In Penzance,

we started with breakfast,

a full English of course,

we were going to walk to the next town, Newlyn, which houses one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK,

lots of interesting buildings on the way,

like this private house, with its many adormants, 

in the harbour next to the dry dock. three black swans, seemed strangely out of place,

it was as usual chucking it down,

we passed the Scillonian III in dry dock,

well I just had to have my photograph taken next to The Stanley!

we were soon walking towards Newlyn in the far distance, along the seawall,

and spotted these plovers,

I am not going to hazard a guess at which of the Charadriidae these ones are,

some intrepid surf boarders making their way down river to the sea,

well I thought this was funny!

walking past the harbour and then going uphill,

we stopped for a break, and noticed a seal in the harbour, unfortunately too far away to photograph, but a first for us, back to the hotel,

where we had a surprise guest, a seagull landed on the window sill, and showed no sign of being disturbed by us he was literally just the pane of glass away,

time for our evening meal, carrot soup for Diana,

pate for myself,

for Diana's main course, a salad of monkfish and prawns,

sliced lamb for myself,

with lots of vegetables for both of us,

a lovely way to round off the day,

'Cheers!',

jam pudding for dessert,

with lots of cream,

we finished with a coffee,

then upstairs,

where we both tried to get in the photograph in the muli mirrored lift, and with that we were off to bed.
