Dear Family and Friends, It was another draughty sort of day. I walked to the beach, and hurried home before the rain came, which it did later in the day. We pottered around doing minor chores, and as the wind had moved the satellite dish, I gave it a firm thrashing with a mop and we managed all channels again!
Now for more pictorial fun - just for you!
Drainage art!
