Sauntering Vaguely Downward

Limpet in a rock pool, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, Spain. I'm feeling rather like this little one after today, during while I successfully entertained four children (mine plus the children of the friend who looked after all four on Monday of this half-term) for ten hours. "I have surviiiiiiived."

Two tiny but delicious chocolate desserts, a glass of pink gin with Sprite and lots of strawberries (like a not-terribly-grown-up version of a Shirley Temple), a glass of sparkling water, and blurred into the background, two of my favourite people. A very happy moment.

I met this beauty in the Canary Islands - on the promenade at Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, to be precise. Even Telstar couldn't begrudge me devoting a Caturday to her.
