This morning I accompanied Jackie to the GP surgery where she was prescribed antibiotics for what is now a chest infection. Afterwards, she drove us to the car park alongside the
Needles Eye cafe where she sat with a coffee whilst
I ambled along the upper and lower promenades.
The fog warning sounded as I took this hazy picture of the Isle of Wight and The Needles, after which the cafe has been wittily named.
This gentleman was perhaps searching for a sight of the island whilst his bored best friend was suggesting it was a waste of time.
A group of energetic retirees strode out, past the barriers that border the lower promenade where concrete huts once stood.
Should they be taken short, a state of the art Public Convenience ushers in the prospective
rebuilding of the, now removed, damaged beach huts.
Throughout the day, Paul and I continued exchanging material for the forthcoming The First Gallery exhibition and flyer.
This evening we dined on Mr Pink’s, fish, chips, and pea fritters. Nothing was imbibed.
Always glad to see a nice set of Public Conveniences at my age. 😉 Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Jackie.
Yes, indeed. Jackie is grateful, Quercus
I hope Jackie feels better soon Derrick♡
Jackie says thanks, Candice, as do I
♡♡♡
One of my favourite parts of a visit to my Kent family is a visit to their beach hut, and watching the tide recede towards France (Or so it seems to me). Best wishes to Jackie for a speed recovery
Thanks, Gwen. Jackie thanks you, too
Get well soon! There seem to be a lot of bugs about this winter.
Thanks, John
Take care, Jackie and get well soon. I hope the sea air did some good.
Thanks, Mary. ‘That’s nice’, says Jackie
A very nice day, Derrick. Hope Jackie does well on the antibiotics. My MiL has the same complaint, and is on her second lot of pills.
Thanks, Sylvia. Jackie is grateful for the good wishes
Sounds like you made the best of the day. I hope Jackie soon feels better.
Thanks, Lisa. She says ‘that’s nice’
I hope Jackie feels better soon.
Many thanks, Sabiscuit
Hope Jackie’s better soon. Nice way to pass the time.
Many thanks, Miriam
Hope Jackie is feeling better soon. It looks like you had a lovely stroll. I particularly like the black and white photo of the misty isle.
Thanks, Merril. The antibiotics should work
To Jackie: my virus salutes your virus….may they both perish in hell…
Sorry about yours, Cynthia
I’m with you on that!! SO annoying.
Verily I say unto thee “The viruses shall inherit the earth”. I hope you two ladies are soon fighting fit.
Thanks, Yvonne
I hope Jackie is feeling better soon, Derrick. What a beautiful day…that sky is amazing!
Thanks, Jill. It was
Get well wishes to Jackie.
Get better soon Jackie 🙂
Thanks, Sylvie
I hope Jackie is doing better! I love this walk along the water, so beautiful and fun to see other people and things going on!
Thanks, Lynn
most welcome!
Darned bug! It is time for it to begone! Lovely pictures, as always.
Thanks, Laurie
Your pictures are stunning like always, Derrick 🙂
Kisses and a hot tea for Jackie to get better soon <3
Many thanks, Monica
Thanks for sharing your slice of the sea with me!
I’m always a little amazed (I shouldn’t be, when I think of the history, but I am), of all the shared place names between where you live and where I grew up (Tidewater, Virginia). We had an Isle of Wight, too! 🙂
Enjoy this beautiful weekend!
Thank you, Ashley
🙂
I wish I was (were?) there. Is it cold? Could people sleep over in the former huts?
It’s a shame that dog gets all the way to the beach and can’t run!
Dinner sounds yummy. Hope Jackie’s better ASAP.

Thanks, Claire Marie. We are better now. I expect people could sleep over – in a sleeping bag
Derrick, I hope my questions don’t seem dumb. I actually really want to know – but from a person (well, you), not from a website. Please be sure to tell me if I become a pest.
Everyone else does, har har.
I promise to let you know 🙂 So far, so good
