i should really go to bed. it is always weird when sam goes from staying up ahead of her nightshifts to starting them proper and we suddenly do not have anyone leaning over to tuck us in at a sensible hour.

...ok, so you let sam off knitting a jumper for huxley, but i am sure she could do you a wee flag of some sort. she was wondering what to do once she has finished the next present for the niblings.

sam says it is because old ladies just keep going. then she started giggling and saying "the lawn is twice as big, grandad," and if i had not lived with her for all these years i would not have known she was talking about this:

"if a farmer sees a fox on his land, he will shoot it," says the driver. suddenly glad i did not bring my hat. wind-flapped ears might be the saving of me.

we are heading out to the causeway tomorrow, and then to all the titanic stuff on wednesday. culture and history and getting windswept, all good things for recharging of a sam. and for a gromit, as long as i am well anchored for the last one.

this is the exhibition we came all the way over to belfast for. just one small gallery of fun pieces from oliver jeffers. sam says it was an excellent use of an hour, and there was a lovely wee cafe nearby.
