Dear Lyn,

It's miserable here.

Natrah
Aww....lets hope it gets better!

Kerry and i went for a walk this morning then decided to take the kayaks out for a while. The water was like glass....so very pretty. I told her that while Maine was absolutely beautiful in a rugged way, where we are is pretty ok too.
Our trip to Maine was tough on me. A lot of hills to walk and of course I still like to climb the rocks on the shore. It beat my left knee up but it was my breathing that really took a hit. I didn't have a single "good breathing day" while we were there which made all the bike rides through pretty technical trails filled with rocks & roots of Acadia and the State parks. Today I feel fantastic today's though...i must be getting benifit from Rays birthday mojo. Thanks Ray!

So Ray, going to see Thumper today? Lol

Good morning everyone!

These photos were taken on the way back from my friend's 60th birthday party what it doesn't really show is the fact that the tide was very high and further along the path the waves had crashed over the sea wall as there was seaweed everywhere. Angie and Lyn we have a weather warning for wind so the tide will be very high today!

Natrah
Same here Natrah.
Tomorrow we're expecting winds as high as 56 mph and it will be much worse on the coast. So stay safe!

It's 86°f here and it's 5 PM. It's supposed to be hot like this for the week. No rain until the weekend. All that means to me is more days that Sapphire gets to go outside before the winter settles in. Yeah 👍

It's certainly not going to be hot here Cathie and I even had the heating on for a short while this morning. Anyway do you remember my dream where I was going to show President Trump around my part of the UK? Looks like I'll get that opportunity on Tuesday. Can't wait!

Through the night it gets down in the 40's and the heater comes on here. Then it warms up to the 90's and I have to run the air conditioner. I don't remember your dream but it looks like your dreams are talking to you about something. Sounds like your area gets to have a party soon.😊 and the way the UK celebrates all that is just plain fun.

Poor you. They say the humidity is higher in the south but I doubt it. In fact it's way better. Even in Florida it's easier to breathe. It seems the further north you get the heavier the air is. Hope your knee feels better already walking on some of the flat planet earth. 🤔😊

Dear Ray,

I hope you've had a good day.

Natrah
It was fine, thanks Natrah.
Rose and Nanay went to their usual Sunday lunch with their girlfriends. I played with the tortoises.
Rose was going to make me spaghetti. I suggested that she do it tomorrow. Since they had a big lunch. So we did the birthday cake thing. I never have a real celebration. When I was single, I always forget my birthday.

Good morning all.

It's been a very blustery night but the rain wasn't too bad here, just short, heavy, occasional bursts. Further west they haven't been so lucky with flooding in some parts of Swansea which is on the coast.
The strong winds continue today and will get worse before they get better so I don't think I'll be venturing far. Lola is still tucked up in his warm hide - he's a sensible tort.
I have plenty to keepe busy indoors, so I'd better get started. Have a good day TTFN

Sorry for the rough weather. It was cool here a couple weeks ago but we're having a warm week in the 80'sF before expected rain later in the week. Im trying to get grass to germinate before the leaves fall. We get an extra helping of leaves here so it's a race to get the grass growing first.

I just saw a hummingbird at the feeders. We even saw a few in Maine at Elaines house way up there on Thursday!

Matt is all setup for his indoor winter home but I won't bring him in till outdoor daytime temps equal indoors...like 72 or so. I hate bringing him in but I love having him so close....and I don't worry about him. Yes, i do it for me, not for him but i can be honest with myself so I'm good. LOL
BTW- it's good that everyone is feeling better too!

I so hope that you have fun! I met him...yup...regardless of how you feel, when you get a chance to meet the president of the USA, you do it!....theres a story behind it but i volunteered online to be an usher at a dinner and met him the night before his 1st inauguration along with many of his biggest donors at the Candlelight Dinner. It's a cool experience because while we all put pants on the same way, some folks carry a presence. Bill Clinton was said to carry that same presence.
I went to DC when the Pope came in the 80's I think and it's an amazing experience to be with so many just like you! Very cool!
