I started the day as usual: feed the cat, make the tea, water the garden, camera in hand, not much going on. Then a call, "You awake? Want to go to Flamenco?" Sure. It was already hot at 7:00 a.m. and a walk and swim sounded good. In June, there is usually no one at Flamenco, this morning there were maybe 20 people in water and on the sand near the life guard(less) towers. Campers? No idea. But Flamenco is big and a good walk toward the Shark Pens meant no one around but the gulls.
After a cool swim - and I do mean cool, the water was not cold, but it WAS surprisingly cool considering the heat we've had - it was time to get to work (ok, first, home & shower). Buck the half on the sidewalk ride through the trench guys (oh PLEASE round that corner soon, it's getting scary!) and open up. A wonderful breeze was blowing hot air under sun filled blue skies. Then overcast...then blue. But all the while sort of sticky with humidity, and dusty.
I think three drops of rain just fell.
Tonight the circus is in town and I am going with a group of friends. I can pretty well guarantee that this is going to not be anything close to a mainland US circus. BUT the headliner is The Spider Lady and that alone is enough to get me to fork over the entrance fee. A little car has been running around the island (oh my, it's RAINING!! oh..it stopped) with huge speakers announcing the circus, complete with circus music. I thought we should grill up some really greasy sausages, onions and green peppers, slap it on some white bread buns and have that for dinner, but it seems I've been outvoted in favor of a friend's restaurant. It's supposed to start at 8, I heard last night, the first night, started at 9. So all is normal. I like that. Attachment: CocoNut.jpg (Downloaded 24 times)
