Panic.

Cloudy and cooler in the morning but eventually the sun came out for the afternoon. Pretty good for a Bank Holiday weekend.

This morning's RNLI crew training included towing a jet ski, something that's needed with the increasing numbers of  jet skis taken out on the water by inexperienced owners.

Not only did last night's heavy rain give the plants a welcome drink and make it easy to pull out any weeds but it left leaves and petals bedecked with water droplets that glistened like crystals in the morning sun.

I have spent my day working on our holiday itinerary (got to have things written down in a notebook which never loses signal or runs out of power) interspersed with some light gardening and more serious sitting in the sun and viewing the world.

I had one moment of panic when I decided to do a preliminary weighing of my cases and found that one alone weighed nearly 12 kilos! Then I realised I was looking at the pounds not the kilos on the dial. Panic over when I realised it was only 5 kilos. I may even be able to shove my riding boots in my case rather than have to stomp around the airport in them.
