You’ll be pleased to hear I am wearing trousers. I mention this because Saturday was the first day since May that I put any on. The shorts are consigned to storage for the winter, I’m having to go through the trauma of wearing socks and tying shoelaces instead of sandals, and I have a hoodie lying about somewhere. We are also planning to put the duvet back on the bed today. It’s not gone horribly cold or anything; it just feels it after that sweltering July and that September-like August. We’ve had rain too, and there’s more to come (Tuesday and Wednesday look to be a bit rough), but the clouds make for some spectacular sunrises. Here is one of the golden variety…
Summer now seems to have flown by, as the season always does, though it’s not over yet. We still have visitors to come, some arriving today, and everywhere is currently open. I counted five large day boats yesterday, and there were more on the side of the harbour I can’t see from my perch, so day trippers are still visiting, and there are plenty of sailors leaving their yachts and going in search of beer. As far as I know, the boat schedules haven’t yet changed, the taxi boats are running, and the beaches are open – maybe only for another week, as things tend to start winding down in mid-October, but with the weather now doing its own thing, who knows? The season may start to lengthen.
Ah, right, enough waffle, here’s one of the pink variety of sunrises we get now and then. The effect only lasts a few minutes, so it’s a case of right time right place, or just being up and about before dawn (who I believe gets up very early). I’ll leave you with that and will Carry on Editing — as the comedy film was never called.
