The family cometh. Am excited. It’s been good being here with just me and dad but here comes the next, slightly noisier phase. All except Hannah who is still meandering around Italy with Sarah. She is in Pompeii today.
Slightly later start today designed to time it so that the Coop will have opened and I could purchase croissants and milk for breakfast on the prom. Breakfast was thus enjoyable and I am now home. We have time to prepare for the rush. Anne’s flight lands at 16.25.
The weather continues to persuade us that Peel is really a Mediterranean port. Last night we sat out the back enjoying cold drinks and eating, appropriately, sun dried tomatoes. The gin bottle level is dropping as rapidly as the barometer is rising. Must be evaporating.
Called Peter Norris Music on Bucks Road in Douglas. They have some second hand guitars in. Will pop in tomorrow with the other musicians in the hoose.
Lunch outside again. Perfect conditions. Bit of ham, bit of cheese, salad. Water.

Had a mooch around Castletown before picking Anne up. Nautical Museum and Castle Rushen. Not been in the castle before but was v interesting.
Couple of beers with the troops sat outside the Creek and then a takeaway from the Royal India. Lovely evening.
