Windy.

Bright and sunny again today but still that cold wind blew.

We were all set to put up the first black-out blind in the sitting room but as Peter set up the tool/gun thingy that fits the special expanding plugs and screws something popped and the tool flew apart. This was in his study and some of the spring loaded bits ended up behind the piles of boxes. So that was the end of that. He's ordered a better quality version of the same tool as we need these special screws anywhere we have the insulated plasterboard on the walls.

Off I went to work in the back garden. First I cleared and weeded the middle bed and then using old bricks built up some walls to hold the soil that had been round the ivy roots. I cleared all the loose soil which made the most enormous heap of soil.

That job done Peter and I went for a walk along the beach. The tide was quite high so we only walked as far as the second pile of rocks. Most of the holidaymakers were sitting along the narrow strip of dry sand above a strip of stony sand.

When we got back we sat outside for a while and that has been our uneventful day.
