We had a couple of days on the mainland this week on family business. Among other things we met up with son and future DIL for the evening, and had a lovely time chatting about their plans.

I am not a big fan of motorway driving - there are no motorways on the island, so I don't get much practice - so I'm always slightly apprehensive about taking the car onto the mainland. However, this time I seemed to have more confidence and even the 40 or 50 miles on the infamous M25 was not as bad as I feared.
We managed a bit of walking along a canal/riverbank, and it was quite delightful.

Now we are back home again, and neither of us can get back into any kind of routine. It seems to be a case of one step forward and two steps back which is a little frustrating. We have quite a lot of plans on the go at the moment, and it's all a bit of a jumble. I think we just need to take each day as it comes and deal with whatever crops up; I'm sure we'll start to see some sort of order if we simply keep plodding along.
Just do the next thing.
On the bright side, we had a glorious sunset yesterday, the colours were wonderful and even N took some photos. Unfortunately my little digital camera struggled with the low light so most of the photos were blurred.
One day I shall learn a little more about the different settings.
