Lazy Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy here again.

I was looking forward to seeing thunder and lightning last night, a flood or two and a plague of locust.

What happened?

A shower sometime during the night that topped up the puddles and a gentle breeze to blow the clouds away!

By the time we got down to the sea front it was all blue skies and warm August breeze!

Even a walk across the football pitch was gentle and we didn't see Devo either!

I thought that the tide maybe in and I could go for a deep paddle but even that was taken away. As we climbed up over the hill, I thought the tide was in but in getting closer you could see there was some mud where I expected the water to be.

Maybe tomorrow morning I'll get lucky!

OTL has been watching Harry Potter on the TV, I mean, it's not as though he has never seen it before!

I've been watching the Taddly Poles in the pond, they don't seem to be getting bigger and every time we go to look in the pond they dive down to the bottom. I wish they would grow up then we could lift them out into a bucket, drain the last of the mud from the bottom, re-line the pond and put them all back.

First, they got to grow up a bit!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Amber Warning of wot?

Hello Woofers.

Daisy here.

I was watching the TV this morning with The Missus and there were pictures of rain soaked Two Legs walking along a sea wall, drenched to their skins and being blown all over the place.

What sort of weather are we getting?


Well, it ain't rain!
 
Going down to the sea front the skies didn't get any worse.

Well, there is Southend over there!

Looking back to the Isle of Sheppy there were dark clouds in the air but no rain!

Well, the wind was blowing from the South but just where is the high wind? Maybe it is still down on the South coast where those wet Two Legs were walking!

While I was looking for a storm OTL was scuttling around looking for something to photograph and guess what?

He sneaked up on me as I was looking up the sea wall!

Sad to hear Archie Babe got a dose of the 'Wash an’ Splosh' I think I'm lucky cos I don't get wet too often!

I'm waiting until it gets warmer and I am lucky enough to catch high tide, I'll get a swim this year!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Still no rain!

Hello Woofers.

Daisy here.

Well, once again the promised floods and storms haven't arrived and it's been a sunny day with a few balmy breezes!

We met up with the hooligans who were coming to the end of their walk and after all the running about they do, they were almost puffed out!

All this running has worn us out!

Going up on the long path there was a good shot of the clouds over the Isle of Sheppy.

  OK, there was a little 'fiddly diddly on the camera controls!

 After changing the controls back to standard setting, we got the light back to normal for that time of the morning and a shot of the wild sweet pea plants.

 

 Sweet?

This is a 'wide angle' shot looking all the way back to the two trees and showing our attempt at a wild meadow or Macca!


 
No sign of Devo today, I think we were just a little too early, maybe tomorrow if we get down there a bit later.

See you all tomorrow.
Luv,
 
Daisy.
