Windy.

It has been grey and extremely windy all day with a hint of sun later in the afternoon.

The garden is looking quite windswept at the moment. One of the fennel plants had flopped right over and needed a couple of tall poles to provide support. 

The ruta, which after the winter was nothing more than a couple of 6" sticks has done well. It's only because it's my namesake that I've allowed a yellow flowered plant in the shingle garden. (And the curry plant which has silver foliage and pleasant smell.)

My day has been much the same as yesterday; Duo Lingo, piano, guitar, exercises and curtain hemming. I also altered a vest top. I'm very specific in the style of clothing I wear ie loose vest tops but I wouldn't want to be seen in something with baggy armholes so alterations need to be worked out. One top was done quite easily but another needs some thought. 

The strong winds have brought out the kite surfers and some adventurous and hopefully experienced surfers.
