what to do with the last few days of the holiday...

Decided to do a day trip to the seaside, which we haven't done since moving to Staffordshire which is a slightly landlocked county! Discovered we can get to a passable seaside in North Wales in a little over two hours, spent the morning on a sandy beach, had picnic lunch and moved to stony beach where I had a swim, then went up the Great Orme to round things off, very pretty etc.

Then the car broke down.

DH not at his best when car breaks down. Llandudno seafront not best place to find convenient pulling off place with car making horrible grating noise and then wait for an hour with two getting-tired-and-hungry kids in the rain.

Car is still in North Wales, poor little thing. We are home in courtesy car (espirito di punto, hmm...). Garage that told me brakes which are now so metal on metal they have buggered up the discs were "absolutely fine" five weeks ago is going to get such a bollocking on Monday morning!!

The cat is pleased to see us though. And still two days til the first day of term!

Oh and I think I may have joined the MO "got stung by a jelly fish" club. There were definitely huge big red jellyfish where I was swimming and my foot has a tingly patch.
