Yachts at Brighton Yacht Club


It's hard to believe that this beautiful day was way back in February before the two lots of snow we had. It feels like the weather turned and never recovered. 😢

I should have taken more sunny weather photos when I had the chance! 😊

In the background you can see the Metropole Hotel on the right and the i360 which I've written about a couple of times in other posts, on the left.

This is my entry to @juliank's vehicle photography contest.

Nice shot! I could feel the atmosphere of this day. Thank You!

Thank you @madlenfox. It was a beautiful day indeed! 😊

You can still people more or less bundled up in the background, so it's still nippy though a very nice day. We get those here quite a bit. Nice color contrast with the boats. They stand out very well.

Thanks @glenalbrethsen. I liked the contrast of colours too and yes, it was a bit chilly. But nothing like we've had since. I do believe the sun is actually shining again today but I think I might go in search of another cafe to work in. Should I go before or after breakfast? That is the question. 😊

Too late for me to give any advice on that. Hazard of living seven hours or so behind in time zones. Eventually, I do have to trundle off to sleep.

I take it though, the decision was made, and you ended up somewhere. Did you make it to a different café and did it work? You were planning to test out another place using the same company as the first one you liked to go to.

I went out after breakfast in the end @glenalbrethsen. I think the only way to get out before would be not to turn my computer on. I usually need breakfast before i finish answering comments. This morning two hours passed and I still hadn't answered all of them. Some of yours included. I hope to get around to them before I go to bed but, if I don't, please forgive me!

I started out in the library. The internet was fine there and I'll be going back there as it's an environment I really enjoy.

Now I'm in a different branch of the cafe where the internet stopped working. I wasn't able to connect right away but I got one step further. It looked like the service wasn't recognising my computer as it kept asking me if I wanted to add a new device. I haven't changed my computer but I acted as though I had and, that way I was able to get on.

Now, the final phase will be to see whether I can now connect in the original cafe. It won't be today as I've had my coffee for this afternoon! 😁

I don’t know anything about boats but I did learn yesterday something about colors 😂😂😂
But it is hard to imagine that it was taken in February!

I know. Unbelievable isn't it @fullcoverbetting. It would be more understandable if the snow was then and this was now! 😊

Pretty grey again today, cold wind with a few sunny spells. Not good weather for taking photographs. Surely Spring has to arrive properly soon! 😊

Apparently Saturday will bring us the first signs of spring!
21 degrees and dry!

Now that sounds good @fullcoverbetting especially as we are looking after the grandchildren. Hopefully we'll be able to get out with them! 😁

How old are they? My kids are 6 and 9, while they do enjoy the Sun, they don't mind the rain, cause it is a school holiday in Belgium and they expect to be allowed to play on the playstation and Nintendo switch!

They are only three and almost one @fullcoverbetting. The youngest isn't walking yet to he's pretty high maintenance! 😁

It was really the three year old that could do with getting out, to run off a bit of steam!

Wait until they are 6 and 9, then we will talk about high maintenance. For sure if they are going to be active in sports, music or whatever.
We both work 40 hours a week, so we don't count a little bit on my parents. But both play football. So we do have 6 days out of 7 football like activities. During the week my dad brings them to the practice, I rush there from work to take over!

We have them every other Saturday plus other days when needed. Much as I love them, that's quite sufficient for me. I've done my parenting of young children duties whilst working full time. 😁

It's way more tiring nowadays, especially picking up/carrying around a one year old.

However, the three year old is moving into a new phase where he can do different things and so is easier to entertain from that perspective.

I've recently got him interested in paper shredding for example. Very useful! 😂

So, when you say football, I'm guessing that means the game Americans call soccer? I know, the nerve of us!
