The sun put in a brief appearance on Tuesday morning after a very wet night, and then decided to go back to bed. Rain fell now and then, and often quite heavily, throughout a slate-gray day and evening, with gusty winds in the morning and gentle ones in the afternoon and evening. The sailboat that had joined us in Waddington Bay on Monday evening remained at anchor, and no other watercraft appeared, though I did see a person on a far shore standing near their beached dinghy.
Since we had no connectivity, Walt spent the day reading and “cleaning up” the files on his computer, I wrote my blog post for Monday, and then, while drinking lots of tea, I put in six or seven hours of work checking the corrections that I’d made to my friend Tim’s sermon book manuscript (25 very good sermons written over the last 30-some years for a Lutheran congregation in Bellevue, WA) to see if they had been made and if additional corrections were needed (they were—about 130 of them). When it’s possible, I will email the manuscript back to Tim for further work, and then he will send it to Amazon for publication—we hope. He is preparing the manuscript of Volume II for me to edit later this summer. The project has been in the works for eight years now, and we’re both eager for the sermons to reach the public at last!
With my editing work and supper clean-up completed, Walt and I played two games of Backgammon, both of which Walt won, and, with the rains and winds gone, we looked forward to a good rest on a very dark, very silent night.
No photos today, so you can simply picture a wet pewter-gray expanse, and then a silky black one . . .
