Storming
lighter:
A thunderstorm rolled in... I was in the shower when the crash and banging of thunder started.
My timeline thwarted, I'm having tea, and starting a new thread about the island. I don't want any negative stuff smearing other threads, so will put it here, if necessary.
Sometimes I have to write something down to get it out of my head.

Good idea, Lighter, different focus - I will contribute a little story, completely unconnected but hopefully a diversion :)
We're staying in our little air bnb; we were watching TV last night about 10.30 when someone knocked the door. One of the neighbours of the lady we are renting the little annexe from had found said lady's dog wandering the street, said lady wasn't home and neighbour couldn't get hold of her. I tried her but no answer so we took the little dog in with us. He is the cutest little thing, very sweet and gentle, he had a little wander round and I gave him some chicken from the fridge before he crashed out on the rug and went to sleep. I woke up early hours of the morning to use the loo and the landlady came and knocked the door; the place had been in darkness when she came home so she didn't like to disturb us but when she saw the light go on she came to reclaim little dog; he was so cute and when I picked him up to pass him out to her he put his little paw up to me like a canine high 5 :) So cute :) So we have had our little animal adventure :)
I love storms! I love the drama and the crashing and that whole "I'm Mother Nature and I'm kicking some arse!" feeling about them. And the lovely clean, fresh feeling they leave behind. Sounds like a sign for a fresh start, Lighter :) xx

So....Tupp.... I loved the cute pooch story. Thank you for that.
As of this morning I have a new rule for myself....
No showers without at least two candles lit, and providing all the light in the bathing room.
This place is so 1950s.... I want to shift the mood, and drink in that vibe. Out with the ick, and in with the charm....Amber, I'm channeling you directly here.
I'm using all your filters, in fact. I want to see this place through fresh eyes.

Hmmmm.... 50s beach kitsch... yes, that would work! I'm less of a fan of the mid-century style for a cottage, but I've seen that work too. Some happy bright colors, but not overwhelming. Maybe some rag rugs to soften the floor in some places? Pillows... cafe curtains. As much as blinds and interior shutters are so useful to filter the sun, curtains are easier to wash/replace.
And I like seeing them blow in a breeze...

Another rainy morning....locals call off their entire day if it rains, apparently. I did what I could with half hung shutter...made sure measurements good, called on tools, called absent workers then went down to beach...my favorite time. Low tide with tidal pools...fish and little crabs skittering about.
I like tiny perfect shells, tiny imperfect shells, translucent shells, big shells, colorful shells, all washed up corals (I have a corals garden started!) Tiny green shells are my favorite. I found 2 today. I like broken iff horns from conch shells....and rocks. Ones that feel good in my hand...ones with translucent layers...ones smoothed into lovely shapes, or with holes drilled through by the tides. I'm starting a rock garden too...will get drill and begin building Cairns....drills should be here today!
I also love seaglass, and splashing in the pools.
Lord, that feels like a singles ad😝
Anyway, going into town, will have dinner there, and hopefully pick up tools. Massage scheduled for morning with yoga instructor... She works the yachts typically. I got lucky, and finally scored an appointment.
