Windy, but mostly sunny today, and really cold. Because it’s a holiday, we decided to go to archery early to avoid the crowds. A good plan that worked well until 1pm, when loads of people arrived. A couple of people shooting takes no time at all, a but a group works at the pace of the slowest, so there’s a fair bit of standing around, which is ok when your fingers don’t feel like they’re going to drop off any minute. It was useful practice, but I am looking forward to my new bow string arriving, so I can tune and get to know the bow properly.

Once we’d done shooting, it was off to do more DIY. Geoff has got the van sale-ready and I started painting the hallway. It was rapidly becoming my never-ending project, but I am hoping to have it done by Wednesday. The house will look like someone else’s.

At sunset the whole Long Mynd was bathed in this weird pink/orange light and was glowing as if on fire. The pictures don’t do it justice…
