Hello! What a beautiful sunny day we had!!
My friend Rachel and I took full advantage! We started at the local markets by the beach, then moved on to Penguin markets, followed by a short tour of my favourite rock-collecting beach at Penguin (See here) (I only picked up 6 rocks today! Inconceivable!)
We were very keen this afternoon for a decent stroll up one of the local beaches – so we trotted off to Sisters Beach. Note to self… must check tide times!!
Here is a reminder of how much sand and walking space there is at low tide:
This was when we got there this afternoon:
It was a bit disappointing not to be able to go for that nice long walk! Usually at high tide there is still a few meters of beach to walk on. Not today!
So – thwarted there, we decided to drive one beach over to Boat Harbour for a look. The tide didn’t cover the entire beach at least – but even though its such a pretty area, not much space for a decent walk. Still… lovely to wiggle our toes in the sand and admire the view
The drive along the coast had gorgeous views today
I am managing to keep the garden watered, and paying a little bit of attention to it – probably need a good days work tidying up the enthusiastic weeds that grow faster than anything and everything (except maybe the lawn!)
I managed to take a little time (in between swanning about at beaches) to tie up my hothouse tomatoes. Instead of staking them, I like to hang some stocking from the roof and simply twine it around the tomato stems. As the tomato grows, I can untwine and redo tighter/higher.
And we even got a tiny handful of strawberries to finish the day with!
Hope you are having (or have had) a splendid weekend!
Cheers!

Hello Lisa! Yay for Princess Bride quotes, ha ha! I really like the flower embroidery on the cuffs of your pants, did you do that yourself?
🙂 Glad someone picked up on the ‘inconceivable’ bit 🙂
I picked up the pretty embroidery lengths in Japan (I have two different ones) and sewed them onto my jeans (Correction… my mother did the sewing so I wouldn’t resort to either a stapler or double sided tape.)
