It was a case of the Three Bears out at sea yesterday. For most of the day, we had a large cruise ship moored out to sea and ferrying its privileged back and forth to the island. I meant to remember the name so I could look it up and give you more details, but of course, I forgot, but it was a big white lump you can see in the photo. Later in the day, I noticed there was a medium-sized one at the clock tower, and a tinny-in-comparison one out at sea. Varying degrees of affluence, I guess, though the largest one I suspect is a company rather than an individual. If it was only one very ostentatious person, then why ferry the boats back and forth all day? Maybe just to look important. No, the first of our larger cruise ships arriving for the season, and not as large as some that will, hopefully, later invade.
Talking of invading, I just checked the dust cloud to see if that was still hanging about, but the Poseidon weather map shows us as being dust-free again. Mind you, it also shows the Sahara region being dust-free, so I wonder if perhaps the person who does the dust hadn’t come into work when I looked, and may arrive later to colour in the rest of the map. Either way, it looks like we’re in for some cloud and a little rain on Friday evening, but after that, we are resetting to sunnier days. It was 16° in the courtyard at 05.30 this morning with no breeze, so if you’re soon heading this way, that’s what you can expect. Warm in the daytime, still cardigan or jacket weather in the shade and evenings, but not for much longer. We’ll soon be saying, ‘Hot, isn’t it?’
But not quite yet. We are still clinging on to spring here, with this kind of scene to enjoy of a daytime.
