As the old postcard used to say, ‘We get some kind of weather here every day.’ This weekend was no exception. What with a full moon raising the tide from underneath, the skies pouring down from above, and the wind trying to keep the two apart, it was a varied weekend out there. Yesterday, the wind aimed itself directly at our porch and front door with such determination that it blew off the draught excluder. Luckily, I have a spare role *, so I was able to put up some new, and it’s currently holding. (* I double as a caretaker as well as typist.)
Neil had business in Yialos on Friday, and took a couple of shots which you might find interesting…
Oops… that was Carnival. Here you go…
The full moon isn’t helping, nor, I suspect, are the works in progress on the road, the ancient drainage system and ongoing vothros problems. I read Town Hall announcements from time to time, but I’m still not 100% sure if the road is just being resurfaced, if pipes need to go down for the new treatment plant, if that’s already been done, or if it’s just for fun (doubtful), but I wouldn’t want to be out there working in this up and down weather. I’d rather be inside in the dry (apart from the leak at the bathroom window) and in the warm (apart from the wind around the front door), where I can watch television (unless there’s a power cut), and enjoy a nice cup of tea (as long as there is some in the shops).
And on to today with a story to make up and tell. Ironically, as the thunder rolls and the rain pours, it’s water day, so we can get some washing done.
