Sun’s Out and Don’t Know What to Do About It
Seems like it’s been about two weeks that it’s rained or been overcast every day. It was almost shocking to see the sun this morning 🙂
I sure hope the trend of electing more women and POC to our public offices continues – I sure am sick and tired of entitled old white men grasping at the threads of power. The more our elected officials look like the people they represent, the better for all.
Had a nice birthday trip over the weekend with the DiaryMistress – it was a very pleasant time at the seashore, in a place we had never been before. We went on a whale watch! But we saw no whales, and not even any dolphins – which according to the TripAdvisor reviews, people ALWAYS see on this particular trip. It was not our weekend for wildlife, in any case.
The back of my neck is sunburned (see above) – we were dumb and didn’t bring sunscreen or hats on the boat. The weather while we were away was surprisingly nice – we thought in advance that we might have to cancel due to the hurricane/leftovers, but where we were it was very sunny (so that was nice since it’s been so rainy at home).
We had some lovely walks on the beach, saw a really nice sunset, ate a bunch of seafood, it was great!
Sounds like a lovely birthday!
@snarkle it was, thanks 🙂

I always joke that my home city gets one hour of sunlight a year
@williamthebloody that’s unfortunate!

I laughed over the word ‘wildlife’ in regards to whales and dolphins. I’ve lived in South Dakota my entire life and I think of wildlife as buffalo, coyotes (haha)
@serenadeoliver that’s funny! but yes, come to think of it if you said “wildlife” to me I would think of bears and such first, not whales 🙂

nothing like being by the sea and enjoying all the benefits it provides.  Sounds like a nice birthday weekend.
@sassymimi it was very nice, thanks.

A belated “Happy Birthday”. Visiting a place that “you’ve never been before” is always a reason for excitement. Bummer that the whales didn’t show up though. Still, sounds like a very nice weekend.
@petersshadow thanks, it was very nice!
