Windy.

Today has been cloudy, windy and warm. In town in the shelter of all the buildings it was very hot but once in the wind it was much cooler.

 

Somehow I managed to miss seeing Pete and the rest rowing the boat back yesterday. Maybe because they came on the far side of the buoys and were hidden by the waves while I thought they would be much nearer the shore. The row was good but to spoil the memory Pete has now realised that he must of dropped his wallet in the pub. He didn't realise this until he came home from working in the RNLI shop this morning. He's searched everywhere and even gone back to check the shop but there's no sign of the wallet. So he's lost cash and all his cards including his driving licence and has had to spend the afternoon on the phone ordering replacements. It's a shame especially as here quite often lost wallets are handed in but no such luck. In case the same thing happens to me I've photographed all my cards and will email the photos to myself. That way I can have all the information where ever I can access my emails.

 

While all that drama was going on I was in town shopping. I followed my usual route starting off with Morrison's then popping into Charlie's to check out their plants. I was tempted by a small hardy geranium with dark purple flowers but didn't get it as I wasn't sure where I would put it. I had a look at the reduced section which is where the purple petunias came from but there was nothing much in there today.

In town I tried on and rejected five pairs of shorts in Sports Direct (my current Adidas ones are far too large) and then found a suitable pair of black sports shorts in a charity shop. In another charity shop I found yet more green glass blobs and some tiny bright blue ones. I also bought a cheap paintbrush to use (and then throw away) with the black gloss paint on the shields. 

Walking around wasn't so bad for my toe but driving was so I spent the rest of the afternoon sitting outside reading.
