Having one of those days where I've done a few reasonably energetic things, such as unload/load the dishwasher, swapped the TV onto a new cabinet, and tidied up a little bit, and now I'm completely and utterly wiped.

Having one of those days where I've done a few reasonably energetic things, such as unload/load the dishwasher, swapped the TV onto a new cabinet, and tidied up a little bit, and now I'm completely and utterly wiped. Zero spoons.

Going to try heading out into the timid afternoon sunshine we've got here. We're going to visit one of the two ruined abbeys that are within a twenty minute drive. Take some photos and see how the rest of the afternoon goes.

Well, the sunshine ended up being not that timid.

I've lived across the river from Netley Abbey for half my life, but never visited it until today. It's really cool. Saw a buzzard too, but didn't get a photo.

I know what you #Mosstodon folks want, and it's bloody disgusting.

And you #Bloomscrolling types; degerates, all.

After we left Netley Abbey, we mooched over to Weston Shore, where we watched Queen Victoria sail by.

It's always kind of odd seeing her, given that I worked aboard her for two months, back in 2011.

There were also more swans than I've ever seen in one place. Truly, a bastard of swans.
