I got up to make breakfast thinking to
go to the beach before eating it. But no one had gone to the beach,
saying it was cold and windy. I stepped outside the sliding glass
door and it seemed quite reasonable to me. So I ate breakfast, then
put on my suit and went to the pool. I sat with my feet in the
water and it was quiet until Olivia came out. She begged me to get
in the pool but my tummy was full and I did not want to swim. But
the begging did not stop. I put it off for the better part of an
hour, then got in. That is when she decided that the hot tub was a
better place. Eventually I gave in to that, too. At 95 degrees it
wasn't very hot, so I turned it up when we left. The others were
having lunch, so I peeled an egg and a half of an avocado. I added
sprouts and a tomato. After lunch I tried blowing bubbles but it did
not work well until I added more shampoo. Even then the bubbles blew
towards the house because of the wind. The kids played in the
stairwell. No one seemed to be bothered by this except me. They
have a whole house to play in, but they lay in the landing between
floors with their kindles. Chris washed a load of dark and a load of
light. I put on my suit and went to the beach. The wind was
stronger there and spit sand against my legs. I put down my towel
and waded into the water. The temp was warmer than previously, but
then I noticed the plethora of jellyfish – on the beach and in the
water. I picked up my towel and it was full of sand already. I went
to the pool instead. James was reading a book there, so I swam laps
and then got in the hot tub. When I came up, Chris had taken clothes
out of the dryer, so I folded mine and he folded his. I checked my
e-mail again, but it was getting harder. Both Yahoo and Gmail are
having trouble. Especially yahoo. I have deleted the same e-mails
over and over, but they don't get moved to the trash. I have tried
moving them to the trash, and deleting them while the message is
open, but nothing works consistently. I brought my sewing supplies to the table. I whipstitched a strap onto Olivia's suit. Then I cut out pieces for a new block. Then I put it away so the table could be laid for supper.
Supper consisted of 3
rotisserie chickens. As the only person who openly prefers dark
meat, Cecily assigned me all 6 leg quarters. Unsurprisingly there
are plenty left for lunch tomorrow. After supper it got dark and
Chris invited me to go walking on the beach. I put on my jacket and
long pants. The surf was quite agitated and had eaten away the
shore line. There was a drop-off of 2 -3 feet which the waves beat
against. The wind was strong and chilly. Becca came and took pics.
Then we all went back to the house. Olivia wanted to get in the hot tub, so we did. I had one dry suit left but no completely dry towels. When we came in, Cecily, Alfred and the kids went to bed. The rest stayed up to watch Thor. Chris was tipsy
and made suggestions in my ear. He didn't seem to mind that there
were other people in the room. The movie ended about midnight and
we went to bed without blogging.
