#SundayPixBeginnings In 1770 these 23 women started the Penzance Ladies' Book Club. It continued until 1912. The founding members included 10 women of the Borlase family descendants of whom continued to join and organise the club until it closed 142 years later.

Persevere - you live near a university too. Its not personal - its the way it is at the moment - and you know from yesterday your CV an applications will get you interviewed.

And it is raining - likely just a cloudburst.

Can Merigold and Astarion work together to assert fair shares for all of us with Kaladin?

Solitude Has Many Faces Solitude has been, and remains, one of the most puzzling eternals of the human condition. Barbara Taylor discusses what the 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe reveals about its many faces.

I love solitude. Robinson Crusoe was and is fiction. And Defoe did not have the last word on the recorded human longing for and love of solitude in history. www.historyworkshop.org.uk/fiction/soli...

It's mixed. People who retire here with public sector pensions may be high rate taxpayers - it drives up house prices and increases demand on NHS ++ brings money they spend into local economy. It is a lovely place to live on a low income - so much to enjoy everyday that costs nothing, warmer winter.

Rebooking the dentist would reduce stress.

Did Kaladin notice that - in helping to open the box - Merigold was about to step on his head?

At least you live well above sea level.

Cat snatching food when an opportunity presents is likely hard wired. Astarion may be looking to snatch something extra that he intuitively feels he needs. Not all like cheese.

Astarion wants something different to eat - a litlle bit of cheese is OK - not suggesting you share your sandwich or plates!

Thank you for posting this. It simply explains so much we see coming and going when walking. And why this time of year is known as imbolc - the feeling that new life is lying dormant beneath the surface just waiting to bubble and spring up as the days grow longer.

Looking forward to going out to explore the garden. Will the cats have a flap?

I've noticed they look smaller when they are being active - maybe because other objects in the photos. Merigold still looks the smallest and at least the vet said Astarion was OK.

Kaladin is the giant and it is funny the way Asterion sometimes looks like he's trying to look after him. Maybe A is relieved K is OK after tumbling into the water.

OK - you did ask why the room is cold. Hope you work out which it is and find some things to help you.

Always colder after dark and tonight it has gone colder. It is forecast to get warmer overnight tonight. It is colder higher up, the beach is lower. Heat rises in house but lived in attic space mostly not well insulated and affected by outside temperature - so colder in winter and hotter in summer.

No - it's good for the alt text because it is what most people would see. I like your landscape and sea photos because of having family predecessors on Skye.
