Saturday 22/07/06

A warm and sunny day, which our guests spend on Tolsta Beach - all of 6 hours. Meanwhile, I keep myself updated on the three Pacific cyclones. Daniel is raging his way towards Hawaii; Kaemi / Glenda is going to batter Taiway and Emilia is making ominous noises at Mexico. During the afternoon, I enjoy the sunshine out the back. I'm glad I'm not further south, what with all the hot and thundery weather. The Middle East gives me this sinking feeling (haven't we been here before with that bunch of ****'s). The Ronja Pioneer (see tomorrow's pics for an image) makes its 3rd entry into port this year. She is a Norwegian fish research boat. Supper is a microwaveable meal. The lottery does not make any of us any richer. The sunset, just after 10, comes in glorious colours. In terms of time, we have now lost 30 minutes of daylight in the evening; by the middle of August we won't be seeing much of a midnight dusk anymore. The nights are very sticky, with a bedroom temperature of about 25C. Outside, the max is about 19C.
