I did more work on the roof today and noticed the clouds looked right for a sunset beachwalk. So I quit a little early and headed for the beach. I got there at about 5PM and sunset was just beginning. All I was wearing for a jacket was a hooded sweatshirt and it wasn’t enough to protect me well from the wind and cold. My beachwalk was envigorating. The sunset wasn’t spectacular, just nice. Once again I had the beach to myself for as far as I could see in both directions. Tonight will be our coldest night of this winter and the cold and wind were keeping folks off the beach. I found 4 whole sand dollars and froze my little tootsie. It was worth it though, to hear the sand squeak as I walked and to see a pretty sunset. There were no birds on the beach this time.
While I worked on the roof I had some help from Velcro, who hung around all day. He sniffed at my hammer and inspected my work from his perch above me on the roof.
The work on the roof went more slowly today than I thought it might but I made good progress. Ideally the time to do this work is when it is nice and warm so the roof tiles and roof cement are easier to work with and adhere more easilly. But the damage would only be worse if I waited.
