Storm Darragh.

The day began grey and wet with a choppy sea. Then as Storm Darragh began to make itself felt the waves got bigger and the rain heavier. I see we are under another  yellow weather warning for wind and rain which carries on over the weekend.

Filling in time before our Zoom class I began sorting through some of the tubs on the shelves next to my pc. Superficially they looked tidy but an examination of the contents would have revealed my tendency to throw things into the tubs to get them out of the way. I got a lot sorted and found a number of 'missing' items. I'll be doing a whole house spring clean in January but I might as well do my study now before Vytas and Sally come to stay. 

I was all set for the class, had done my homework and some preparation for class, signed in and then ......... my camera wouldn't work. I had sound but no picture. I did the usual things like taking out and plugging the cable back in but that didn't work, nor did trying an alternative web cam. Peter came in and tried a few things but in the end I had to do the whole class with sound only. Peter will have to look at it properly some time in the week.

The storm continues so I'll be driving down to aerobics. It's the last aerobics class and I believe we'll be having prosecco/nozecco and treats at some point. As the hot glue gun proved a failure at sticking the crystals on the plastic areas of my trainers I took off  all the crystals that were about to fall off and stuck them on again using the builders' superglue which seems to work better.

To add a brighter contrast to the grey seascapes here are a few more photos from my wish list.
