Rain stopped play!

Heavy rain in the night and still raining when I fed the cats about 6.30am. Then still drizzling about 7.30 when Darren and I set off for the boot sale. So we decided to give it a miss and went to Lily’s cafe on the sea front for breakfast. Took one pic before we went in as the sky was lightening and the weather did improve during the day.
I took a walking stick with me and I did manage a short walk along the promenade, taking some pics. The last one was just a closer one on the sand, as I love the patterns that appear sometimes.
I did go and feed the birds when it stopped raining, I have noticed recently that as I get back towards the house the seagulls swoop in, only tow or three though. They seem to have got more nervous as they always used to be hassling me when I was actually putting the food out!
Shock and horror, I actually cleaned some windows and replaced the condensation blocks, even washed the net in the living room!
I had an unsettled night and have felt very tired this afternoon, did do a little sorting in the bedroom before getting dinner, and sat and finished the Sherlock Holmes story.
I thought I was killing my very expensive large plant, so changed its position in the room and removed the large dead leaf as Sher suggested. The small shoot is no dying but last night I realised that there is a new large leaf growing out of  the stem of another leaf. So it seems that I have now managed to make the plant happier!
I am usually pretty good with my house plants, so would have been sad to kill this particular one off!
Have watched the Strictly results and will probably just sit quietly and do a crossword now. I won’t be late getting to bed tonight.

  1. I suppose not getting to the boot sale saved you buying stuff that you’ll probably declutter at a later date 😂 Breakfast is the main Sunday morning activity with Darren anyway. It was pleasant this way this morning and we even had sunshine! The sand is great for some really nice patterns of either water or shadows.
    You have been busy cleaning and tidying. Every little helps. I keep looking at the dust and thinking I must make an effort, but luckily I manage to talk myself out of it!
    Glad you managed to save the big plant. It does look nice and would be a shame if you had to dispose of it.
    I won’t be too late in bed myself. Putting the clocks back has messed with my body clock 🙂

  2. Dust is a whole other matter, and I had so many ornaments! Also need to get on the steps to reach some and with the knee that is not a good idea. That’s my story and I am sticking to it!
    Although the beach here isn as interesting as some, the different effects are still great to see.
    No extra clutter from the boot sale is good!
