What Day Is it?

 






The view down from the Gop to the coastal plain was magnificent this morning. The snow covered peaks of Snowdon are clear as a bell

It’s cold in Llandudno too and the Goats are down in the town again
I’ve been busy on line shopping

New chew proof leads for Dorothy   
Underpants x 6 
Some zombie dvds
A footstool 
A hand blender 


I paid my speeding fines on line too
Spoke to an old friend who is poorly
Read some more of my book
And realised I have absolutely nothing to talk about

    I dunno, that seems quite a lot to me! How many other people can go from goats-to-go to mountain ranges to a new footstool(nice!) all in one stream of consciousness? I salute you! A mental magpie indeed.The scope and calibre of your daily posts are as amazing as they are fascinating. And congratulations on the underpants! A boring necessity easy to get distracted from buying by something much more exciting (zombie dvds) if not as useful.;)

  6. You've done a walk with lovely weather and beautiful views, seen the goats, talked to a friend, read a book and done some shopping...that sounds like an exciting day to me,too! As for chew proof...Dorothy will see about that. Sounds like a challenge...

  7. Interesting little footstool. It looks like it should have a head.

  8. I wonder if the goats are in town because it's warmer there? Maybe with all the pavement?

    Your narrative was quite interesting and the photos wonderful so it seems to me that you had plenty to talk about. I wonder if Albert will claim the perfect new footstool?
    Oh, and it's Wednesday, February 10, in case you still need to know. :)

    Hugs!

  21. You live in a very picturesque area. The roaming goats seem to be a signature feature. Are they friendly when someone approaches? Shopping and bill paying online is convenient and time saving. Nice footstool.

    1. The goats are wild creatures and won’t be approached . They walk gently away and melt into side streets and behind cars

  23. Beautiful views from the Gop. I love that last goat picture. They seem to have all gathered at that building for a purpose. Maybe they had an appointment? ☺

    When you have time. What is a Gop?

    1. The Gop is the name of the hill beneath which Trelawnyd shelters
      It has a Neolithic burial mound on its summit which gives it a look like a mini volcano

  31. Your last sentence made me laugh nothing to talk about, I enjoyed every word and photos as well, what a pretty place you live in, I think Mary might claim the footstool as it looks long enough for her.

  41. So John, here is a coincidence for you. Last August my brother sent me a photo of my grandparents and great grandparents on holiday somewhere. They were posed with the rest of the occupants of a boarding house. My brother had no idea where it was but the name of the boarding house was just visible and I found through Google that it was Eivion, one of a pair of boarding houses that stod on Trinity Square in Llandudno. This made a lot of sense since my grandfather always liked Llandudno and he probably got that from family holidays. I looked at Trinity Square on Google Street View and the right most of the two boarding houses, Bryn Eglwys is still standing 80+ years later but Eivion was demolished and Boots the Chemist is there now. So now you see the coincidence. The lower half of the middle picture on your post shows a gateway with a goat that has gone inside. It is stood where my ancestors posed for their picture all of those years ago.
