What chaise longues were made for

Gorgeous bright day; driving back from Skib, the sunlight through the trees was honeyed gold...

And then, coming up to a blind corner, a car seemed to be reversing from a by-road back onto the main road. As I slowed, I saw it was only backing up a little so that it could make a very sharp turn.

Into a field.

And then I noticed that the brown sign directing people to the ever-picturesque Lough Hyne had been twisted, that instead of pointing along the by-road...

Sigh. Nothing waited inside the field but neat bales of hay and an acre of tar-pit strength waterlogged mud.

And in other news, for the lovely EmergingWriter, here are the kittens on a break during an epic bout of Stealth Ninja Wars. Don't let the innocent expressions fool you:

I think these guys have been sneaking a look at "America's Next Top Kitty" when you're not looking, either that or you've been lining the tray with copies of Vogue!

As we recently learned, Vogue is a rarity in these parts!

Course, GP keeps them up to date with the latest fashion trends...

Ha ha!! They somehow make the covered-in-spit look seem so elegant :-)
