Wet or Dry: 

Dry all day. Started to rain a little at 3pm. Overcast from then on.

Plumage: looking good

Eggs: 2 by 10am

Fuschia is still a delight and full of bees buzzing.

Too many flowers to mention them all.

Vegetables from the walled garden

Lettuce

Onion

Carrots

Spinach

Cabbage

Planted turnips

Sunny or Cloudy:

Clear sunny skies.

Temperature: 

Still very mild but with a little wind chill.

Windy or Still:

The wind is stiff.

Sea Condition:

Little, cresting, greenish blue waves and a touch rough but truly beautiful. Reminds me of the paintings you can buy at coastal resorts. The draw in the harbour stopped the afternoon ferries from sailing.

Tides  - approx: 

High:  03.58

Low :  10.26

High:  16.27

Water Shortages

Please use water sparingly as water is still rationed on Cape

Fishing:  

Worth a try later if the wind drops.

Thought for today:

Calculate the number of hours you spend in your car each day, multiply it by 1200, divide by 24 and you will have the number of days you will waste over your working life - yes it is too much.
