Today was mostly a work day. I even got involved in the act by doing some testing for Christine, although I’m probably more trouble than help. But I’m glad to try and help out. However, I keep getting distracted by what’s going on out in St. Julian’s Bay. Boats come and go, swimmers swim all the way across the bay, kids run along the shoreline. So I’m constantly looking out the window. And I’m so glad I brought binoculars! (Cathy, binoculars are an important tool, right??!!)
Annette did come today. She’s a hard worker and it is very nice to have her come and clean our flat. But we get in her way, so we went for a walk along Exile Beach (no sand, just limestone). We were near Exile Point and stopped at a stand to buy lunch. We ate lunch sitting on a bench enjoying the view. Today is very warm, about 76, and sunny but somewhat hazy. The locals are saying how unusually warm it has been.
Then back to the flat and more work. Christine worked nearly all afternoon. We fixed dinner and then went for another walk. We walked again along Exile Beach, around the point and all the way down the front to nearly where we were the other evening. It’s such an interesting configuration of limestone.
I mentioned the other day about the salt pans along the shoreline. To empathize with my New York friends and their April winter, the first thing I thought when I saw the salt pans this evening was how much they look like ice patches.
And then this stuff clinging to the rocks on the shoreline looked like snow. I don’t know what it is, but it’s interesting.
I also mentioned the Victorian bathing pools we saw the other evening. We passed by them again, so here’s a close-up. I might just get in one of them before this trip is over.
It was getting dark, so we climbed back up the stairs to the promenade and made our way home. It sure is pretty with all the lights reflected in the water.
Yeah, you found the Cat Park! Could the foamy stuff be the salt?
