Hello to the sea again!

This morning I decided to try and get to the post office and then hopefully to the se front. I had a package to send to Rose, things of hers that made their way onto my bag as we finalised the moving! I did get up to the se front as well. Had a cuppa before heading home nd didn’t make the knee ache too much.
When I got home I went into the garden to feed the birds. That turned into an adventure. The wind was strong today, gale force I should say, so the canopy on the new garden swing was flapping precariously. It is very high so reaching up to release the ties was quite a challenge. Then as I walked towards the greenhouse one of the very large panes was on the ground, thankfully not broken. I have spare clips but always struggle getting them positioned so ended up stabbing myself with one! The wind this time was flattening the sunflowers so I cut a few that were still good and some about to open to bring indoors.
Yesterday evening Darren came and helped with the jigsaw for a while, we ended up going to bed quite late. We got this far and I planned to get it finished today.
It took a surprising mount of time to get it finished but now it is ready to return to the box and go to the charity shop!
Have written a couple of letters this evening and got them posted. Feet up and tv now.

    Ahhh the sea. It always looks good no matter the weather. It’s good that you made it there again without too much pain. Love the first pic. Very atmospheric.
    Oh dear, the wind was very destructive today then. Sounds like you had fun with it….or not. At least there wasn’t any damage, apart from the early dropping of the sunflowers and the punctured finger, so that’s good. Shame the sunflowers got flattened, but you’ve had them for a fair bit of time, and those look very nice in the vase. I think you need an extra strong welded frame to keep them upright next year. Maybe a bit overkill.
    I bet you’re glad to see the back of that jigsaw 😊 It’s been a bit of a bugger compared to most you do. Hopefully someone will buy it from the charity shop and suffer too 😂 Now I know why I don’t do jigsaws.
    Feet up and tv sounds a really good plan.

    I had been a bit nervous about trying to walk further so glad I got there and back without too much trouble.
    Yes, a really strong wind, quite a lot of branches down in the garden as well.
    Yes, glad that particular jigsaw is finished.
