Cloudy and a lot cooler today.
But at least it stayed dry. Pete went and got me another tub of masonry paint and while he was out I made a wooden box with an open end to sit over the letter box slot in the porch. This is just if we are away and don't want a pile of letters sitting on the bench seat indicating that no one is home.
Later I painted most of the garage wall and it was a lot easier than the street wall. For a start the render though textured is old and has been painted many times making it a much smoother. Also apart from the very bottom of the wall I wasn't crouched down or kneeling. Standing on the tall step ladder was more comfortable especially as sometimes I was able to lean back against the facing house wall. I could possibly have gone on to finish the whole of the garage wall but I've come to realise that I need to pace myself. Or face the consequences.
Hopefully tomorrow will be dry and I can finish off then.
Pete went off rowing in the afternoon. They went out towards Ynyslas and then the wind changed and they had a hard row home.
There have been no comments from our lifeguard friends, just raised eyebrows regarding the jet ski that 'had' to be rescued by the RNLI. The shout the other afternoon was to rescue some people who had gone out in inflatable kayaks despite the red flag up that said 'No Inflatables'. It is too easy for inflatables to be blown right out when it is windy. The beach lifeguard had gone out to them but needed the lifeboat to bring them back to shore.
I'm off again tonight to choir for some relaxing singing.
