The Anchorage, Part 3

[Pendraia]

How are things this morning?

 

[Terre]

OK, here. How are you doing?

 

[Pendraia]

Not bad...not sure what time it actually is at the moment as we are due to change our clocks backs...I think the computer's automatically updated though and it's about 7:30 here and I'm just waking up.

 

[Miss B]

Weather's not as warm today, but it's comfortable, and that's always good.

 

[Pendraia]

A cool morning here but not too cold...what I'd expect from Autumn.

 

[Lorraine]

Aftermorning all

A cracking day here, sun bright and hot through my window. Lots of fluffy white clouds and no breeze yet. The surrounding water has lost its brownness and regained its blue/green colour...it looks good enough for an autumnal swim but I have a feeling it would be a tad...refreshing

It's certainly very pleasant sitting here with my coffee, looking out the wheelhouse door at the view, the only sounds the plop of the dinghy and the slight squeak of my chair springs...somebody needs to do get oiling!

 

[Pendraia]

Sounds good Lorraine...all except for the swim. Probably a bit cool for my tastes.

 

[Lorraine]

That's what I thought too, Pen, I don't do 'refreshing' unless it's a hot summer day

 

[Lorraine]

Damn, I speaked too soon. Those lovely fluffy white clouds are joining hands and turning grey!! And the biggest, greyest one is right overhead. Buzz off!!!

 

[Pendraia]

Oh...that's annoying!

 

[Miss B]

Yikes Lorraine, get indoors.

 

[Lorraine]

Nope, went off up the hill and downloaded Pen's Diva files, walked back down the hill, chatted with some friends, got some water, came back to the boat and it's still only threatening Lucky me!!

 

[Pendraia]

Pleased to hear you made it okay...

 

[Miss B]

Well you must've sent it north, because we had some thunder rolling through here about an hour ago. I haven't gotten up to see if it rained or not, because as long as I'm indoors, and the lights weren't flickering, I couldn't care less.

 

[Lorraine]

I haven't gotten up to see if it rained or not, because as long as I'm indoors, and the lights weren't flickering, I couldn't care less.

A very good outlook on life

 

[Miss B]

Glad you approve.

 

[Lorraine]

I do believe I have lost my marbles again. Today I left the boat, got a couple of boat lengths away and realised, no water containers. Back I go. Get them. Set off again. I am a long way more than a couple of boat lengths away when, DOH! No tablet in my bag! I said a Very Bad Word, very loudly, much to the amusement of a gent on his boat. Back I go. Get it. Set off again. This time I made it ashore. But if anyone has seen my marbles, can you please return them to me c/- Sans Souci, Opua. Returning you to your regularly scheduled programme.

 

[Pendraia]

I do that sort of thing all the time...

 

[Terre]

If I see you marbles I'll be sure to send them back.

 

[Lorraine]

Thank you, Terre and good evening!
