Éowyn is starting to make herself heard

Filed under: diary — Trefor Davies @ 10:56 am

Éowyn is starting to make herself heard. Lying in bed I can hear the wind roaring through the branches of the trees on wragby road.

The Beeb reports 50 mph winds in Lincoln, 65mph in Pwllheli and 83mph in Peel in the Isle of Man. Ride not your bike. 

I saw yesterday that The Harbour Lights caff on Peel promenade said it would not be opening its doors today. Won’t be anyone on the prom anyway. The sea will be crashing over the wall. The waves at Fenella Beach, nestled below the castle, should be spectacular. 

The cosy snug in the Whitehouse pub will have the fire lit. A sensible place to sit out the storm, securely up the hill and away from the seafront. There used to be 60 pubs in Peel, at the height of the herring fishing, long since gone. The fleet is now reduced to a few crab and scallop boats.

Been looking at the webcams on the island. Still too dark to see the action. Will look again later.

I quite like it in the shed when there is a bit of weather. In here you feel cocooned and can look through the large glass doors with interest. Not much wildlife to be seen. They have more sense than to be out in this wind.

Bean salad
Milk

Oil and vinegar

Bacon?
Mushrooms
Lettuce

Picked the right scanner today. It’s a game I play. On this occasion there weren’t many left on the wall so the odds were in my favour. However when it gets to the last few a number of them are only there because they don’t work properly so it isn’t that simple. Bought a lottery ticket on the strength of that success.
