The street party ended quite early last night. I suspect the rain damped spirits just a little. Or maybe it was the traffic beginning to back up due to the main road closure.
Either way, sleep was undisturbed until 0530 when I was woken to the boom, boom bass sound of ‘music’. So intrusive was the noise that I had to look out of the window just to check the street party hadn’t started again. It hadn’t but somewhat unbelievably, a zumba class was taking place directly opposite our hotel
and it was only just getting light. By the number of motorcycles parked close by I assume that this was an exercise stop off on the way to work. All vary laudable I’m sure but couldn’t they have done it somewhere else?
The class finished just after 0600 and off they went to work. After that, I couldn’t go back to sleep so had the rare treat of seeing the sunrise.
although full cloud cover soon followed.
The only benefit of the continuing inclement weather is that Bobs really has cracked on with her revision. She is so focused and determined that I know she will do well in whatever career she choses. I am so proud of her. But all work and no play etc etc, so I managed to prise here away from her studies for a while to take a leisurely stroll by the beach
and go through the motions of taking some more strenuous exercise. It didn’t last!
Then, as if in answer to my prayers, the sun came out so we flopped on the beach for a while
and Bobs even had a swim
before going off for yet more revising.
All good things come to an end eventually. So, around lunchtime tomorrow Bobs starts her long journey back home. However, if the sun shines again in the morning we may well be able to catch a few more rays before she goes.
Fingers crossed.
