Day 156
At last the rain came, lashing down on the poor dried out earth. Not for very long. Daughter and I decided to go swimming in the sea anyway - I got myself all kitted out with extra dry clothes in a plastic bag as mine would have been soaked between the car and the beach, ready for whatever. It stopped raining as I drove to Daughter's and when we arrived at the beach it was like this:
Just fucking perfect, blissful. Hardly anyone there, water temperature about the same as the air 18C/64F. Probably not that warm to you USians but fine for us - a blessed relief after the last week or so.
This just came up on Facebook memories:
So. Against all the odds, looks like our Sam is going to be forty next Wednesday. She has indicated, by means of ignoring suggestions she’s not keen on and blinking strongly for those she likes, that she wants to go to the pub to celebrate. If any of you (being all either family or good friends) wish to join us, we will be in The Three Fishes from 6 on Wednesday 22nd August, but not for that long, realistically speaking. Couple of hours tops. Woo hoo! Go Sammie!
Honestly, she was fucking brilliant. Going to bed now.
