Here's a Hump Day night bedtime post as the temp here drops down to 2C (feels like -1C).

Cheers.

My new guitar has cleared emigration in Australia and is now sitting around waiting for a seat on its flight to the UK....
(Upon arrival in the UK I dare say it will sit around while it clears immigration into the UK)

I've often ponder on great names for rock bands. One that keeps going through my mind is "Sic transit gloria mundi", only with a slight mis-spelling of the word "mundi"....

Can't smile, can't go to the Post Office to get my mail, 1 inch rocks are surrounding my home, and I have a fractured foot, so no smile.

If I had some money I could order food, just not with Calfresh, Staters is dragging their feet on Calfresh delivery as they've had more than 6 months to get their system to work with Instacart and Calfresh and have not done so yet, Calfresh is already done on their end....

@ Carlos
Just thinking about how far above sea level your island is. Will a rise in ocean level effect you much?

My home is about 3 feet above mean high tide. The levy is 11 feet above MSL. The levy district is currently raising the level another 3 feet. If we get much rise, we will be damp.

Time to start turning those boathouses into houseboats Carlos?

On this nice sunny morning I got the bed stripped, mattress flipped, 1 load of washing done and out on the line, got fresh linen on the bed and a brew kit sterilising as I wait for my 2nd wash load to be ready to go out on the line.

Now that deserves a coffee break.

Cheers.

Some fires are started by cloud to ground lightning or by heat.

My son lives on a houseboat. My sailboat is fully self-contained. But my plan is to tear down the house I live in now and build a new one on stilts. Above the flood level.

Couldn't you just drive the stilts and place your present house on them?

Well the sea level will have to rise 960m before I'll have a seafront residence.

With everything else that I did here today I didn't get around to getting back into my brewroom, but it's ready to go 1st thing in the morning and a frosty -3C is expected here.

Cheers.

Sunshine? Where's that?!

Will a bright stillness of grey do?...

And all is calm...

And... It was a really nice day yesterday, so much so that I decided to try rolling two days of surveying into one...

Many energetic miles of footslog later, and I found my intended food stop to be closed 'cos it was now evening time and too late... Had to settle for a small pizza a wee way further on. All good energetic healthy stuff for the long day.

Badly feeling it today and enjoying 2kg off mi beer belly!! (That's 4 1/2 lbs old-speak, or x2 UK supermarket bags of sugar in food-speak!)
