Saturday

 Saturday had fruit and avocado for breakfast and slept better back not so bad. Walked wrong way along beach and eventually up to Russell-Cotes gallery which had amazing paintings and scultpure. Coffee on the terrace in sunshine. Then crazy golf in lower gardens Liz beat me. Back for tea and rest and watched lecture on avoiding purgatory in mediaeval period. Watched Beatrice and Eugenie. Had our prosecco before dinner. Steak and piddle pie, scampi for starter, white chocolate creme brulee.

Sunday a quiet morning Blackfriars, watched part of Bernie's ordination at Kingston and her first Mass at Balham and Fr John preached. Saw first part of Nelson's Bargue course. To Corfe Castle. The half mile walk from car to castle was a surprise but very pretty. Sketched. Cream tea at NT cafe abd bought a calendar. Swim. Smiked salmon, roast beef, ice cream for dinner. Singapore Grip was well done. #

Monday swim at 7.30 and had pool to ourselves. Walked to beach front and enjoyed the sunshine. Watched The social dilemma - really worrying. Frederick Stocken played Percy Buck at Cornhill.
