The day began dry with some sun in the middle of the day followed by light showers and now really heavy rain. According to the Met Office it has rained every single day in Wales this year. Of course we've had some dry days here at the coast but on the whole it seems like the rain never stops.
Yesterday evening the coastguard were called out to rescue a car that was stuck in the sand at Ynyslas. The parking area is on sand but the rain has softened it a lot so you have to be very careful where you drive even above the tide line.
I still don't seem able to shake off this cold and subsequent cough. Although it was reasonable walking weather I decided, much to Peter's relief, to have a rest day at home.
After my regular morning routine plus giving the air plants their weekly bath and fed the orchids (who knew plants needed so much care?) I settled down to finishing off Peter's beanie. It's only for wearing around the place hence I didn't bother with a pattern which accounts for the less than perfect shape at the top. I'd picked out the soft chunky blue wool to start with and when that ran out only had the grey in thick wool to complete the hat. It's very warm and Peter is happy with it which is all that matters
Mid-afternoon.
