Lockdown 702

Lockdown Day 702- 26 February 2022

Our long walk along the promenande was wonderful in the cool east wind. We did a section on the beach too which Roxy absolutely loved.

I have come to learn when the ocean is swimmable and what temperatures to expect just by looking at the wind. On the beach we saw many bluebottles on the line left by the high tide.

This is the way it goes:

East Wind is the beast.

West wind is the best.

East blows in from the ocean, the water turns rough and green, meaning it is cold and murky and not swimmable. Bluebottles are often a sign of east wind to come.

Another sign is the aeroplanes take off into the wind over the bay.

Inland, where we live, we can see when the wind turns west, as the aeroplanes take off  and fly over our townhouse.

So tonight with the east beast flooding our place with crisp night air, I offer up a prayer for rain in our area, still trusting God can fill the Kouga dam to the brim. Because He's got us. And He's got this.
