The Daily Novel

Needed a breath of fresh air before dinner. Got more than I bargained for. Even though the sun was shining on the Williams sisters at Wimbledon down here on the Dorset coast, summer was having an away day. The wind had been howling around my house all night and it continued all day, bringing a lot of rain with it. More like November than July.

I arrived at the prom at the same time as a quite spectacular wave, which filled my boots and gave me a mouthful of salt water, My mobile phone got seriously wet, but I managed to get one picture of the scene after the big wave.

Back at the ranch I was forced to change before dinner, although I have no visitors. I washed my mouth out with a malt and water. Don’t know what I am going to cook for dinner but the desert is taken care of by this cake produced by my sister.
