Days come

Here it is Monday again – wonder what’s in store for this week?
Strangely life has been quite unstructured while we’ve been here this past 8 weeks . We don’t seem to have found the usual rhythm of this time away ….Some years (a bit like at home) there’s been a pattern to the days……but even that has been replaced by an easy come easy go attitude.
Nothing has been planned too far in advance – not much talk about ‘we’ll go here or we’ll go there’ – lots of last minute day before – same day even decisions- if something has been marked on the calendar it’s often been removed/changed if ’a better offer turns up’ 

We’ll just continue to take things as they come – hopefully these last remaining couple of weeks will be a bit a lot warmer than it has been. It’s decidedly chilly when those strong south easterly winds blow (which they have done with a vengeance recently- there seem to have been more Marine Wind Warnings this year than I can remember before) I really would like to get more wear out of the lighter weight clothes I brought with me. Not grumbling- really….just looking at the forecast for home has me shivering 🥶

The wind might be hanging around but for the time being there is no rain forecast. The times it did rain during those cold weeks early on it wasn’t like the torrential monsoon rains that come earlier in the year during ’The Wet’ …..it was constant soft gentle rain just like The Irish Descendants sing about in this song

A gentle mist all heaven kissed
Like teardrops off an angel’s wing
Don’t you know you’ll cleanse your soul
With a walk in the Irish rain

Anyway there is one good thing to do at Rose Bay on a windy day – as well as sitting in a sheltered spot up the back of the beach

Kite Flying!
This little family had the time of their lives recently with Dad showing the boys how it’s done….

(As I’ve mentioned before- these are taken at a distance, then had miles of sand cropped out. Enlarging shows a much better picture)

The Back has been playing silly bug*ers which is part of the reason for the quiet life …..however it does mean I’ve something rather nice to show you on Wednesday. See you then.
