Low, low tide at The Cove this morning. The lowest Low, low tide at The Cove this morning. The lowest we’ve ever seen. With the fishing boats dragged from the sea for protection, the dragons teeth lay exposed, so we swam left, heading for the deeper buoys where the seaweed didn’t wrap our legs. It was the calm after the storm. Waves gently lapping. The water stirred and tired. Chilly dawn, warming.

I gave blood yesterday. The blood service sent me I gave blood yesterday. The blood service sent me a message on Tuesday saying they needed my blood type, A+. I couldn’t really say no, could I? I didn't want to go. 

There was only me and one guy in the waiting room. He joked about how you get biscuits before and after donating nowadays. I wasn’t really in the mood for jokes, but it helped. He helped. 

I thought about where my blood would go, who would get it? Who would have all the blood sloshing about in bags in that Dorset community hall? 

I chatted to cheerful and reassuring nurses who had been on their feet for over 10 hours, their backs aching, feet sore. I love the NHS, one said to me, even though it’s falling apart. I told her we love her, and the others just like her, and she rubbed the small of her back and smiled. 

Me and the guy in the waiting room finished at the same time and walked to the car park together, chatting easily about our second choice of biscuit. Stay safe, he said as we parted.

Some mornings you need your friends, an empty cove Some mornings you need your friends, an empty cove with gentle waves and cliffs to hug you. 

Love you sis. Will never forget you. You thought I was mad to swim in the freezing sea but today you were there with me❤️
Raining at The Cove this morning but it just added Raining at The Cove this morning but it just added to the atmosphere. As the sky dripped into the seaweed sea a skylark sang overhead and I swam through cups and saucers. 

Missed my swimming buddies this morning @alexthewandawoman coffee wasn’t the same without you both!

Caught up with my garden neighbours this weekend. Caught up with my garden neighbours this weekend. Wow, they’ve grown. Even found the shed skin of one of the grasshoppers, a titchy speckled bush cricket, wild bees on the geraniums and campanulas and a female thick-legged beetle, who, unlike the male, had skinny pins.
