The day began bright and blue but by 9.00 the sea mist had rolled in. Sorry about the blurry photo, I tried to show paddle-boarders on the mirror-like sea. Yesterday evening the sea was just as calm with the sun going down in a cloudless sky without the mist. There were about 10 paddle boarders further out in the bay in small groups just chilling and watching the sun go down.
I spent a lot of the afternoon in town. First stop was the dump where I got rid of more bags of garden waste including all those ivy stems/roots. Then on to Morrisons where I checked out their 'garden centre'. There were less than half the plants there than usual and the assistant I spoke to said they will be closing it down soon so I stocked up on two more clematis and a passion flower to replace the ones I lost over the summer. This time I've already planted them up into bigger pots until they can go into the garden beds.
I tried to do my civic duty and ask maskless people in the supermarkets where their masks were but I'm getting fed up with being sworn at. One chap was apologetic and put his mask on but the others were just foul mouthed. Surely if (ha ha) they did have asthma they would be grateful for people risking abuse in an effort to make conditions safer for them. The till girl in Lidl told me they are not allowed to ask people to put on a mask. Too much chance of being abused I guess.
Peter had an appointment with the cardio specialist nurse after his diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and he's come home much reassured (he has a tendency to assume the worst), especially as all his other results including cholesterol were excellent. He'll see the cardio team at the hospital to discuss if he needs any treatment other than medication.
We spent an hour enjoying the sun and listening to the happy sounds of children playing in the sea.
