Rainstorms
The first week of spring?
It's supposed to be the first week of spring,
yet today has been the coldest day of the year: 14C. Additionally,
it's been blowing a howling gale for more than 24 hours, as well as
torrential rain. The picture accompanying this entry does no justice
to the sheets of rain, though it shows perfectly well that the
Southern shore of the harbour has all but disappeared. Not pleased.
Tomorrow is expected to be nicer (19C, rain "clearing") but even if it does, swimming or surfing is not recommended for 24 hours after "heavy" rain. With the trails soggy as well this curtails all our favourite weekend pastimes. Hey-ho.
