Top photo is probably one of the loveliest hamlets in Wales, a couple of miles from Nefyn on the Lleyn Penninsular, can only reached by a two mile walk along the beach or a similar walk through the golf course. Porth Dinllaen was orginally in contention with Holyhead to be developed as the ferry terminal to Ireland, guess which won! There's a lovely pub right in the centre of the photo (the red building) called the Coch Inn, visit http://www.tycoch.co.uk/WallHome.htm for the webcam! The second picture is a small bay with a lifeboat station past the white building to the left on the webcam. There is a narrow cliffside walk to this bay. That's 12 Year Old at the end of the path.

Reading someone else's blog (Ruby from Bury St. Edmunds) prompted me to post this photo of our household's refuse collection and recycling bins. The large black one is for general rubbish and is collected bi-weekly, the large brown one is for green waste and is also collected on alternative weeks along with the five small boxes which are for paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and glass. It takes quite a while and is quite messy around the house collating these different recycling ingredients before loading them in to the boxes/bins, but we all have to do our bit. BTW the bins and boxes aren't usually in my front garden, but we're having a bit of building work at the back of the house.

I couldn't believe it last night on TV, The Godfather versus Apocolypse Now and Ryan's Daughter on at the same time along with Catherine Tate and Jongleurs. What the hell could i do? Well seeing that I've seen The Godfather, Apocolypse and Ryan's Daughter about ten times each, I simple flicked between Catherine Tate and Jongleurs and during the adds I caught a couple of great scenes from the films. I also made a promise to not watch any of the aforementioned films until I'm fifty (seven years time) by which time hopefully I'll have forgotten most of the storyline and characters and can then enjoy them - as if for the first time. My 18 Year Old bought me the Godfather Trilogy for Christmas 2004 on DVD, I watched 1 and 2 on a business trip, but I'm saving 3 up for a rainy day! He bought me this year the Sopranos (series 1) and I'm saving that one up too!
Going back to the Godfather and Apocolypse it made me realise just how great an actor Marlon Brando was and of course how well made they both were, along with the sheer brillaince of Ryan's Daughter.
I wonder if today's new films will stand the test of time, sadly I can't see Gaymen Mounting, sorry Brokeback Mounting being in the same league.

On the local news a guy has just been found guilty of speeding. He was caught doing 157mph on a motorway - speed limit 70mph. His punishment was £3,000 fine plus a 12 month ban. Not such a wicked crime you might suppose, if the road was quite, the weather conditions fine and he was an experienced driver. Well all those things might have been. But he was on his mobile phone! Plonker.

We got an envelope addressed to The Occupier at our address today, inside was a leaflet (see photo) advertising the fact that she had cheated on the Poster I presume. I don't know the woman, but again I presume she lives in the vicinity and that all my neighbours also received a similar envelope. I'll be looking at all my neighbours and passersby in the street a lot more closely now!
