FFKAMA karate TV
Just discovered that I can watch recent French karate tournaments (and international-but-with-French-flavour) on the FFKAMA website:

There are a whole lot of videos; take the links on the right of the page. You don't need to understand French.

Tuesday, Tuesday
Morning walk under a glowering sky, heavily grey, warm. Red-winged blackbirds, grey catbirds, and a mocking-bird with a million songs. One ibis lumbering through the air near the wetlands. I thought it would storm, but an hour later the sky is clar, the sun is shining, and the watering-can will be busy later.

South fork tour
We started at the beach at the far west of Dune Road in Westhampton Beach; foggy, mild, children on the beach making sandcastles. Jade braved the water. We walked for a while, then drove the length of Dune Road to the rainbow bridge... and the light became murkier and murkier, it started to rain, and by the time we were on 27 heading east, thunderclaps and lightening strikes were happening simultaneously and the road was a river. Huge storm; if it had happened yesterday, we would have seen the wettest June on record, but today is July and a new count begins.
Late lunch at Nick's in Montauk, rain on the roof. Sweatshirts from the sweatshirt shop (we were not dressed for winter), then To The Lighthouse, though we didn't go in; then to the outer beach, almost wiping-out a cyclist-with-a-death-wish (who in their right mind cycles in front of a vehicle as it is pulling into a parking space???) where the light and the greys and the sand was beautiful but the large raindrops, wet... and then back home to excited Bella-dog and clearer skies.
(It has been nice and summery the past few days, the days that I forgot to write anything... we hoped for the same today but it doesn't matter, it was a really nice trip and a good day.)

My day off for gardening... yeah, right
A very very humid, sticky, and bug-infested afternoon. Collected a few more names for the census. Took Bella for a walk round the block as the clouds gathered. Fed her, and then it started...
I hope it dries out enough tomorrow to mow the grass.
I am not going to complain. I am not going to complain. I am not going to complain...
(I did get all the housework done.)
