Yesterday’s church quiz was a very pleasant occasion, enhanced by a splendid array of buffet delicacies; and the fact that our team won.
This morning Aaron of A.P. Maintenance cleaned our windows. As usual, I made him a set of prints. The two pieces of stained glass visible in the fourth and fifth images were made by our friend, Giles; and the pendant artwork in the seventh by the daughter of a client quite a while ago.
This afternoon I watched the televised Six Nations rugby international between England and Italy, after which we just had time to catch
the sunset at Milford on Sea, where a couple sat silhouetted;
and a man cavorted on the beach attempting to enliven a stationary little girl.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s splendid pasta arrabbiata with which I finished the Syrah.

Wow, that sunset is striking.
Many thanks, Karen
Quizzes, house maintenance, photography, sight-seeing, culinary news – all life is there in you interesting blogs. Thank you, Derrick.
Very many thanks, Roland
Congratulations on your team’s win, Derrick! (And, of course, on now having clean windows.) š
The sunset is beautiful. The photo of the man and boy is otherworldly, or perhaps it looks apocalyptic.
Very many thanks, Merril

Winning the church quiz you clearly had God on your side.
Very many thanks, Bruce
I wish I had an Aaron! And well done on the win š
Many thanks, Pauline
Congratulations on the win! What an amazing sunset, Derrick…nicely captured.
Many thanks, Jill
Congratulations on the quiz win! Quizzes are part of the winter social life in this part of the world – our next one is in three weeks time. Our window cleaner won’t clean our velux window which I have to do from the inside of the house. I envy you your Aaron!
Many thanks, Clare. He is a treasure
Stunning photos of the sunset.
Thanks very much, Lonely
That Aaron is a wonder. Lovely sunset, but what a striking photo of the man with the boy.
Very many thanks, Laurie. I took a risk with that one
Stunning, and a good lesson in taking risks.
Nice photos, especially those sunsets. Gary
Many thanks, Gary
Aaron’s services seem more and more indispensable as I keep learning about him. The silhouetted couple seem reading something in the semi-darkness. Could it be their mobiles?
Thanks a lot, Uma. Actually it was a dog that grabbed their attention. š
Wow, that last photo is the bomb, to quote a young friend.
I’m pleased, Yvonne. Thanks very much
Of course your team won … you were on it!
Such faith, Osyth. Many thanks.

Good thing you can hire cleaners out there. I love your sunset shots but the last one is the best.
Many thanks, Arlene

Beautiful sculptures in the window!
Well spotted, Anna. Many thanks
Love that last shot!
Many thanks, Cynthia
Saw the title and thought George Formby, and now I’ve got that song stuck, and going through my mind, for the rest of the day, thank you very much Derrick!
So pleased, Brian. š Actually, I almost included a video of it.. Thanks a lot
Stunning sunset capture! I love the silhouette
Aaron is a hard worker!
Those sunsets out there were gorgeous, and were followed by one of Jackie’s fabulous dinners! You both lead an idyllic life. š
That’s retirement for you, Lavinia. Thanks very much
Some great photos again Derrick – loved the sunsets and the final monochrome shot.
Many thanks, Quercus
