A day of thunder and no rain, so far.

We walked around the bay this morning, the sky was interesting and there were almost no waves. I thought it would be hot but there was a lovely breeze off the sea. There were a lot of live green turbans washed ashore, John keeps collecting them and throwing them back, goodness knows if they survive or not or if it is some weird life cycle thing. Today there were absolutely tiny ones, I have never seen such small ones still alive. We came home and it was quite hot and oppressive. Now it is rumbling and grumbling, the black birds are singing and oh I wish we would get a decent rain out of this. I really hate dry thunderstorms as they can start fires. Trying to get stuff ready for my 5 days workshop with Sandra Brownlee. I am trying to pare down what I have and not take the whole workroom! Really looking forward to it.
