The wind is cold and the sea is rough. There are big waves. But I don't care. I like Tuesday, a day to eat soup and read Cornish. I like Lily's cafe as well, they make the best soup. What's in the soup today? There are two soups, good and hot. One is with pumpkin and other golden vegetables, peanuts and a bit of chilli, and the other is “rainbow” soup with all sorts of vegetables and herbs. And don't forget a slice of lime! Though the wind is strong and cold we are quite warm.
