The Tiled Owl
My late mother loved owls. And here's one she painted on a tile. We just found it while sorting though some of her old stuff.
It's quite lovely.

Mugs in Mousehole targeted at fans of Doctor Who, Spooks or Robin Hood. (Are there any fans of Robin Hood?)

QotD: Houseguest Etiquette
What's one thing a houseguest should always do?
Leave.
Having people to stay is great, great fun. But so is the moment they leave and you have the house to yourselves again. :)
The Most Fun You Can Have at St Michael's Mount
So, we visited St Michael's Mount yesterday, and very enjoyable it was too. And we discovered the most fun you can have there:
- Wait for the tide to come in
- At the point the causeway starts to get covered in water, get a good vantage point on the hill
- With binoculars or a decent telephoto lens, enjoy the sufferings of the those who tried to beat the tide:
The boat across, incidentally, is a grand total of £1.50, and a great ride.

QotD: Thirst-Quenching Beverage
How do you like to quench your thirst on a hot summer day?
This was working rather well for me earlier:
Yes, it's beer! In this case, a beer from the Wooden Hand Brewery here in Cornwall. They're a lovely bunch of ales, easy drinking with some interesting flavour, and equally good at room temperature or slightly chilled. Good for a summer's afternoon.
QotD: Email vs. Telephone
If you had to give up either email or the telephone for the rest of your life, which one would your forgo?
No contest: the telephone.
I barely use my phone any more. E-mail is more efficient and useful about 70% of the time.
