On another gloriously-sunny day, we dropped of the girls to Disneyland &and Diana and I drove off south to the Pacific Coast to see Newport Beach and the Balboa Peninsula. I managed a call/message to Wiggly who I was missing badly

A good night's sleep, interrupted only by the sound of a car alarm from the communal parking area but we did not think that it was our own.  The family awake and me to connect to CIX where I found no replies to my messages.

A bath and consternation over my genital wart infection which seems to be getting worse, regardless of the new cream; though the problem could be irritation from the cream itself.

Another gloriously-sunny day and potentially warmer still than yesterday. After discussion, we agreed that the girls could go to Disneyland on their own whilst we drove off south to the Pacific Coast.

This we did and went to Newport Beach and the Balboa Peninsula. First we parked at Newport Pier and enjoyed the sun, the warmth and the scenery of beautiful wooden buildings and beautiful people, bronzed and on roller skates and bicycles.

Then to the tip of the peninsula where we sat on a bench overlooking the marinas and Balboa breakwater in the sun. Back via a shopping expedition to the "Target" superstore where Diana was in her element shopping and I slipped away to make another call to Wiggly who I was missing badly.

Unbeknown to me, the UK time had changed with Summertime being introduced and so it was nearly midnight when I called her! At least she was still very pleased to hear from me and we had a nice bedtime call.

On the way back, we bought some fresh fruit from a produce stand; strawberries, apples and grapes for us to enjoy later. We collected the girls who had enjoyed their time at Disneyland and we just stopped off on the way back for some McDonalds food for them and some roast beef sandwiches for us.

A quiet evening, once back, as the girls swam in the hotel pool, Di walked over to the laundry to do some washing and I wrote using my Psion.  Some TV and then an early night ready for a busier day tomorrow
