A baby Robin visits

(I should have posted this on the 3rd, but well...)
So there we were, happily sitting just inside the patio doors of the hotel room, when this little fellow strolled up. We watched as s/he (can you tell the difference?) pecked around for a bit and chirruped about the place. It had not long stopped raining when s/he appeared as the sun came through.

Red Cabbage and bingo

After another damp day we spent the day looking at the wildlife that was tame enough to approach the open patio door to the room. Squirrels, a chaffinch, a baby robin and 2 magpies all came looking. Pictures will follow on my return.
I am blogging live from the pavilion where the band is currently doing Lennon's Imagine justice. Later there'll be a comic, who i'll talk about later. Meanwhile, more gin has arrived, so i must continue to test it.

Dampness Abounds

Contrary to earlier forecasts, the rain is falling steadily. Hopefully by lunchtime it'll clear. My room has a patio with a harbour view and I hope to sit out there once the sun comes out. Anyway, last night's caberet. The resident entertainers provided a worthwhile selection of fifties and sixties songs. The band played well and the lead singer's confident renditions and flashes of wit proved successful. The dancers' energetic routines added sparkle to the whole thing. As always i greatly admire how hard they work to provide a show which has to cater for many tastes. All of them gathered at the exit to bid everyone goodnight as we left- a nice touch.

Holiday Time -

Repost from Monday, June 02, 2008

So, the first day of the knock-a-holiday has come to an end.
We arrived down here at Hayling Island at 3.15. Our rooms were ready for us and our luggage was brought up quickly. Once we had rested, it was time to sample the keyboard stylings of a chap called Ricky James before moving through to the restaurant for dinner. Tonight I enjoyed Broccoli and Cauliflower soup then Beef in Black bean sauce followed by ginger ice cream. Unfortunately too much beer prevents me from writing more at the moment. Tomorrow I will try to post about the show we saw at the cabaret tonight. But for now... Bed!

Hello

Whoops...

In my haste, I hit the delete blog button when I really just wanted to give the blog a new skin. never mind.

I will repost the last couple of entries that I posted from my holiday to Hayling Island.
