What to do?

What to do? Rain and not just a light drizzle, continued buckets being poured from the heavens. There is not much that one can do except go for a surf. The wind was blowing westerly and there were waves, so for those brave ones amongst us that was probably the only choice. Even a run to the car to go to the shops would see you wet as a drowned rat. Books, puzzles, painting and getting through the hours. Just when I thought that we had a break in the weather late morning they turned on the taps once more and that idea got banished to the hurt locker. Biding our time we were.

Mid afternoon we got a break in the weather and bundled into Dusty for a trip to the Village. Coffee granules were on the list. It was a pretty extensive list. Coffee granules and coffee granules. Ingrid wanted some Hallumi cheese, but they did not have stock at the supermarket and we drove 1 door down to no avail. Hallumi cheese must have been a trend this last weekend here in the region.

I wanted a coffee milkshake and we stopped at the Rose for coffee and a milkshake. We were going to go home for lunch and  zzz to pass the time. At about 16h00 I coaxed Ingrid and Mom into Dusty for a boogie board session. It was warmish out and the rain had stopped. I guess that they ran out of droplets up there. Ingrid thought that I was crazy, but gamely joined me in the ocean for a session. We had picked up father in law in law on the way to the beach and he and Mom stood on the beach while we did our boogie boarding thing. The waves were good for boogie boarding and that smile was written all over her face.

The evening was a simple affair. Ingrid and Mom watched their series and I finished my film on the laptop. Before we knew it it was 22h00. Time for bed after a pretty uneventful day (Except the boogie boarding and lovely hot shower afterwards).
