Wild, wet and windy.

From summer yesterday  to something definitely not summery today!  It's been a glorious week,  we left the rugs out to air on the balcony and were thinking about getting them cleaned and put away for the summer.....

The pool was emptied out on Tuesday, then Wednesday we rinsed it and I scrubbed the floor and the tide mark off the walls,  Thursday we started to rub down patches of paint that looked a bit loose, not really loose but some areas it looks like the cracked glaze of an old plate - if that makes sense!  A first coat of paint on the patches and we planned on doing the floor today followed by a complete recoat of the whole pool early next week.   That was until we looked at the weather forecast   :( 

High wind warning for the coastal area,  gusts of 50 to 60 km up here, temperatures down from the low 20's to about 10°.   I've just covered up the tomato plants with half bottles and then laid a piece of mesh over the top  to stop them blowing away.  Not much we can do about the broad beans and peas - they got bent and snapped in the last wind and rain of two weeks ago so there's not much more damage  that can happen to them. 

Forecast for tomorrow is much of the same so  I think it's going to be an indoors weekend.
