Well that was a nice day out. Well worth it, glad we went. Penny machines to lighten my wallet a bit, and fresh fish & chips eaten from the paper while strolling along the beach. No crazy golf today, just too busy. Everybody else seemed to have had the same idea I think.
I slightly begrudge the fact that, to get 4 hours on the South coast, I also had to spend 4 hours at the wheel of the car. It was worse than usual, motorway reduced to a crawl for miles through sheer volume of traffic, roadworks with interminable 50mph limits, plus it took an unexpected twenty minutes extra to find somewhere to park.
I had no idea August had been so damp elsewhere. I remember a few showery days, but our own BBQ probably got used more this summer than any previous. I also remember a few very windy days, can’t remember exactly when, but the forecast panicked me into repairing some dodgy fence posts.
As regards my local rainfall, I now have admitted defeat and turned on the lawn sprinklers. That must be a first, for me, this late in the year.
