From what I can remember from infants and junior school was of the girls skipping or doing cartwheels . I could do neither!
If I tried doing a cartwheel I knew that my arms would collapse and I would smash my face into the ground . :ohmy:

You don't remember playing marbles on the drain holes in the playground?

......and these elastic band things. Was it Chinese ropes or something they called it. I didn't join in as I was a tomboy and preferred footie or a game of tig or conkers when it was the season, and making icy slides in the winter............all no doubt against health & safety now /styles/default/xenforo/smls/sad.gif

We have a bright and breezy start before the rain arrives late morning so I got myself out for a little bimble.

There's conker trees on the main route to the boys school, they never seem to get picked up.

It has at last stopped raining at least temporarily but the clouds are still moving at a fair speed.
Mostly inside today as did not feel too bright and I massively overslept this morning. Down the street briefly when some tourist tried to reverse into me as I was driving along the street but I managed to stop in time.The sensible thing to do when parking end on to the railings is to reverse in but when did sense ever enter their heads?
Since I had been on the covid pit ferry on Thursday I did a test this morning which came up negative.
Some of the traders are adopting a cavalier approach to business which indicates to me that it is only a hobby. One has shut from Thursday till Monday for a hen weekend and another burger joint has gone on holiday for a week. A couple of others have announced also they are shutting for a few days for no obvious reason.
A new lot have got a small cabin cruiser and are hoping to make their fortune with short trips round the bay.:rolleyes:

A day of traveling today.

First we went to Inchydoney Beach, where it was wet and windy.

Then to the nearby Clonakilty Model Railway Museum where they wouldn't let us go to the café they had without paying £17 to enter the museum. So we left and had a nice lunch in Clonakilty instead with a wander round.

Called in to Cashel for a look at the Rock of Cashel and an ice cream. It :rain:

Now we're sat at Dublin Port, waiting for a ferry. It's still :rain:

We call them buckeyes over here. Ohio is the Buckeye State. We had several buckeye trees in my town as a kid. We made necklaces of them, hit other peoples buckeyes on a string, threw them at each other, and collected pails of them. I grew up a town near a large river, and I do not see buckeye trees outside of the river valley. I should go back to the sprangle, and see if I can find some.
