This month I've mostly been getting excited about switching electricity provider.

Since moving into our house just over four years ago I've had, some may say, an unhealthy addiction to monitoring our energy usage.

Not wanting to return home more tired than when we arrived, and to try and get over our colds, we're having a rest day today and making the most of the cottage.

We decided to stay a little closer to base today so had a lazy morning but ventured out to Minions, Golitha Falls, Jamaica Inn and Launceston this afternoon. This blog post also includes links to the Runkeeper logs and maps that show the paths we took for two of the day's activities.
