yesterday Rose and I had several adventures - first we went to Charlestown Harbor and visited a museum that had a lot of information about shipping clay and Cornwall history (with cool stuff about the conversion to gas cookers/ovens with a kitchen full of appliances some dating back to the turn of the last century) and shipwrecks including items about Titanic - mixed in with the educational stuff was the occasional motion-activated scene of gin palaces complete with very scruffy-looking drunks and even a day-glo skeleton to keep the kids happy
then in the evening we went to puppy school for 4-month-old Jackson in a village called st mabyn - the class was a riot - about 8 or 9 puppies of various breeds and sizes being led through their paces by their owners and the teacher Julie - Jackson did very well despite his enthusiasm and curiosity about pretty much anything
and we then went back and caught most of East Enders and had a delicious dinner
am realizing that the days remaining on this trip are becoming very limited - i could easily stay on the road another 3 months or so and don't even talk to me about going back to work - eek!
