  • sky very pretty 🌞

    and whimdy, there is weather here, unlike in the weather shadow of carlton where we had little rain and few blowy days

    ( and it's so cool when pelicans fly over and there are birds here I don't know )

  • Looking outside at this glorious sunny day - enjoy it while it lasts co it ain't gonna last.

    • clouds are moving in

      I should dash to the beach now while I can even tho the tide is fairly high

  • Huh, so apparently all that wind has been blowing over a ton of dust as well - explains why my car looked like someone had splashed a light layer of mud all over it today. Fieldwork went well enough despite the gusts, and it was nice to be back doing something I feel competent in...

    Glad to be out of the elements this evening just as the wind hits. It's nice to be spending my evening gazing at sox, who is still too slinky and elusive to photograph properly in the dim light of this apartment, and is still busy marking her scent on everything possible, including power cords, paper bags and plant pots. She herself smells remarkably of baby powder.

    No more hissing, though I think it'll be a couple of days yet before we get to snuggle time. She was a bit unsettled by the wind noise and kept glancing up nervously while eating, but I think my standing near her while she ate helped calm her down.

  • The tide was very high today, the blue heron was walking through the dunes eating bugs, black swans were swimming and diving where yesterday the gulls were standing on rocks . I saw a flock of little yellow wrens. And found a little red toy pail with a starfish imprint on the base.

  • Looking forward to when next week comes, got half the week off next week. Yay!

  • Wimdy

    • Very! Most glad it's a WFH day. Useful for finding all the draughts in the house that need blocking up.

      • I think trying to find any single draughts in my place would be futile, there are so many of them. Plus they mingle with the radiating cold coming through the walls and windows.

        I'm looking forward to the new place being both double glazed and drought proof - everything is very well sealed and weather stripped there. I'm hoping as well as the temperature benefits it will mean less dust inside.

    • Wind's howling

  • Woke up at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep, tossed and turned and grumbled. Then of course half hour before the alarm went off, my body just switched off and went into a glorious sleep. Grr.
