Yes, that was me on the surfboard carrying the disco ball! Kinda tricky holding that thing while hanging ten! I am hoping to shoot through the tiny opening in the wall at Mousehole Harbor/Harbour and not wipe out! Is there a descendent of Tom Bawcock's cat who can sing to the Storm Cat and let me get into the harbor/harbour in one piece? I don't want the disco ball to break! Tell the cat if he/she sees a surfing pirate eating a fish taco and singing the Beach Boys' "California Girls", it's me! ARRRR!!!!!! And Carol, was it ME you were asking about the cutthroats? I have no idea about them, sorry, this is just a costume! Happy Halloween, a little late!

I wish I'd been with you in Mousehole it is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Cornwall. You and the cats seem to get around. I can see the light house and the red flag and what was that that just flew over it looked like a boat but could it rally have been? I will be glad to arrive and find my room and the surprise Julia has for us. Oh, how fun it will be at the party all the good food and company. I have decided on a dress in gold with gold slippers and rings and head band, so I shall shine all night from head to toe's. Is that Jan D down below us on her surf board? She has something round and shining in her arms. Boy she is good on the surf board, look at her zoom over the water. See you at the light house Jan, we're almost there! Connie You'll NEVER guess where I've been all this time. Mousehole! I was holding the kitty, Charlie, when suddenly I was crouched on the front stoop of a tiny cottage in the little hamlet of Mousehole. I recognized the harbour straight-away. Just like my Woonie Gumpus, Charlie has the power to go between home and Mousehole and took me with him. It must be the magical pull of Mousehole and the tale/tail of the cat who saved the people of Mousehole at Christmas time long ago. Connie, I'm back on board and under the tarps covering the supplies. If you don't mind, could you please help me out of this corner? I can tell we're very close to Cornwall by the smell of the salt air. Jan, you must be near by on your surfboard. I can't wait to see your pirate costume and hear the ARRRR you've been practicing! Now then, what to wear to the party...

I had to go home and have my second cataract removed the other day and couldn't look down or drive for two days. Now I have to wear a clear plastic shield over my eye at night for a week and all practicing being a Cornish pirate. I say "ARRR!!!" a lot. I guess I will dress as a pirate at the party. Do I have to look like Johnny Depp? Can I borrow one of the parrots for my shoulder? At some point, Jan TOO (The Other One) must have fallen overboard. I couldn't look down so I couldn't look for her. I hope she catches up soon! (Or did Connie toss her over so she could be Commander of the Moose Sleigh? HMMM! Do we have a mystery on our hands?)
