A wet and windy day, but the cherry blossom is in bloom.
Today was Mothers Day and Scamp had breakfast in bed. Then Hazy phoned and I made a quick exit to avoid getting in the way of two ladies talking!
There wasn’t much chance to get out and get some photos today. Lots of wind and rain. The rain, coming in waves, was heavy for short spells and was driven by a blustery wind.
Thankfully we had a quite exciting F1 GP to watch in the early afternoon. For the first time in ages we had not one, but two interesting race days recently. It felt like F1 used to be, years ago. Let’s hope the officials don’t spoil it by adding in restrictions.
I spent the rest of the afternoon watching the rain clouds, but eventually they did blow away and I got the decent shots I’d been looking for. I guessed the Cherry Blossom would be in bloom and I was not wrong. I managed to get some good photos of the flowers on two cherry trees. A spell of warm sun helped brighten the flowers and made them stand out from the background. PoD sorted!
Scamp made dinner, which was Sea Bass with Lemon Pepper Butter, Potatoes and Cauliflower. I made dessert which was Meringue with Fruit Salad, Diced Kiwi and Ice Cream. The whole thing served with Coffee and Kahlua for Scamp and black coffee for me.
Spoke to Jamie in the evening and heard that things may be brightening up for the pair of them. Hope it all works out, because you do both deserve a break after some long drawn out wrangling.
I believe we may be going shopping tomorrow.
