Weather forecasting and update
We saw this above weather forecasting tool in Port Isaac a few weekends ago. Would save the government millions, doubtless.....
The singing weekend at Prussia Cove was great, if exhausting, and didnt get off to a good start when I had to swerve to avoid a stroppy driver outside Mr B's house and dented another bloke's bumper. Just waiting to hear what the damage on that one is. Second, my friend Joe was feeding Bussie and I gota phone call on Saturday morning to say that I'd left the key inside the french doors so Joe couldn't get his key in. Dear fellow, he went down to Tesco to get some cat food and left a plate outside which His Lordship scoffed and didn't seem unduly put out. And lastly, as troubles come in threes, the toilet in the house we were staying in broke. 7 people and no toilet is not a good idea but thankfully it was fixed by Saturday evening.
But we had some great singing, some good food and a good time was had by all. I was so tired by the time I came back that I crashed. And from then on it's been all go with another author interview - Rupert Wallis, whose debut novel comes out in January.
Then Alan (of 'Snap' fame) arrives tonight for a few days so it will be lovely to see him again and take him out in Echo - weather permitting.
Clearly a good weekend - very glad the loo got mended! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that weather sign. :) And having a toilet break when there are 7 people in the house is not a good thing! I sometimes wonder how people survived without indoor plumbing. =)
ReplyDeleteI hope that when you "crashed" it wasn't into another car! :)
ReplyDeleteAddy - thankfully no!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - no, 7 people and no toilet was not a good thing!
