letters from falmouth

[burntcopper]

Yours truly has spent the last few days doing a fair bit of walking around as I tend to do when in Falmouth. And got my boots muddy. Tuesday it didn't stop raining (not, I hasten to add, when my boots got muddy), Wednesday intermittent sun but mostly cloud with rain later (St. Mawes fields are v. muddy), today sunny. Pondering what to do tomorrow since all the gardens-by-ferry are not ferryable due it being winter, and I cannot be arsed to take two hours by train and bus to get there. I make exceptions for the Eden Project, but it's the Eden project. There are giant bees. And skating. And as Megs and Jen can tell you, a Heather left to her own devices will automatically look for paths that wind off somewhere that is probably muddy and full of branches and so on.

Currently doing the dance of 'Markets cure all xmas list ills' with four presents in ten minutes at the thursday late night shopping thing. Plus one hot dog. In other news, yours truly has accidentally found herself in possession of new earrings, layer cake on dvd, new trainers, an earring tree, and a knee-length diesel denim skirt. In my defence the last item was from a charity shop, and the trainers were £20 off, and my current pair have popped seams and worn away insides. Gave the shop assistants the giggles by doing various con dance moves in them (surest way to test all shoes) and then they bugged when I explained that any of my shoes have to survive mad athletic dances made up by my mates.

Working my way through Hamish Macbeth. Getting horribly distracted by Doc Brown/Hamish when I'm trying to concentrate on the story. Oh, Robert Carlyle, I'm sure we can find you another tv show with good actors and a consistently good script someday...

Sounds like you’re having loads of fun! I’m envious, rain or no rain. Wandering around what is a very nice part of the world and shopping like a shopping-fuelled shopping machine seems like a little bit of Heaven right now. All I see these days is pixels.

The earring tree sounds like a good idea. Water it well, and you shouldn’t need to buy any earrings ever again. Here’s hoping for a bumper crop next year!

I got the Layer Cake DVD via import for the price of 5 normal DVDs I was so eager and - tadah - still haven't watched it. Or read the book.

You're sure about Robert's future? How, when, oh please make it soon, I'm so scared he'll have ruined a life long career over there!
