Another fair weather day with clouds and sunshine. I got up first and cooked pancakes for breakfast. Kath drove us to Porthkerry Country Park for a walk along the shore, and then a snack lunch in the cafe. Just as we were looking for a place to sit and eat on the terrace there was a brief cloudburst, soaking all the tables and benches except the ones covered by a huge umbrella. A second umbrella covering several more tables was furled as it was broken, so we had to share a table with another solitary eater who didn't look pleased to have company.
After we'd eaten we walked up the path under the railway viaduct for half a mile. We were accompanied all the way by a small bird, possibly a chaffinch, which alighted on the ground ahead of us, then flew on fifty metres, and so on, as if it was leading the way. Very unusual behaviour.
Then we went to have tea with Fran and Mark, and to collect my trinitarian icon, ready for its blessing at St Luke's Mass tomorrow. It looks so beautiful now it's finished. I unwrapped it and hung it on the dining room wall when we returned home, where it will live in future.
Clare and Kath sat in evening sunshine in the garden while I cooked a seafood paella for supper. After we'd eaten Kath and I went for a lap of Llandaff Fields before sunset. It wasn't long before it was time for an early night.
