Sunny Then Cloudy.

The day started beautifully sunny but by the time we got out to the coast the clouds were rolling in. Peter was not in the best of moods as after months of training, both on the water and in the gym when it came to race day, ie today, his arthritis had flared up and he had to back out. The reason he was so grumpy was that he had told his team leader several times that the job he had been moved to was affecting his joints but as it is a job no one likes doing he kept being put there. He finally went to HR and then to Occ. Health who immediately have said that he is not to do that job as it wasn't what he was employed for anyway. That's good for the future but it is sad that it had to get to this stage. And then to top it all I had messed up recording last week's Archers omnibus (it got rescheduled) so we didn't even have that to listen to. (i-player takes forever with our line speed).

We only did the short walk around Morte Point. The path was quite slippy and we had to watch our step on the mud. We had to walk crab-wise on the stone sections with our feet placed carefully across the rock ridges as they too were slippery. But it was good to get out and breathe the sea air. 

I was able to get some photos of a sparrow hawk as it hovered almost motionlessly above us. Better out here on the cliff than in my garden hunting small birds.
