Windy afternoon in Gulfport |
Pix.
Being a creature of habit, I stick to my home habit of changing sheets on Friday. While the sheets were dring, I hosed off the pool deck, skimmed the pollen off the pool surface, and did some incidental cleaning, like the cushions and outside furniture.
After lunch, we took a drive to Gulfport. We don't use a standalone GPS anymore, but my phone works really well and we made it without incident. We enjoyed spending some time in the pier but didn't stop in one of the waterfront bars for a beer.
Front yard during heavy rain |
I didn't swim yesterday evening or this morning, because of high winds and then, today, heavy rain, with thunder and lightning. I took advantage of water on the patio to mop it, but my tools are somewhat inadequate so the best I can say is that it (along with everything else) is cleaner than it was when I arrived. The Players championship has been delayed until about noon.
Spring break in this area started today and there are vacationers from all over who've returned to Florida after an absence. If I were here for only a week, I'd be sorry to see a forecast of cold, windy weather with (much needed) rain.
As for me, I have my Kindle, my camera and daily Spanish on Duolingo, so I'm just fine until I turn on the TV and am assaulted with images of the tragic war on Ukraine.
