No wonder the eggs are beautiful

 Regular Saturday market about half a mile north of us. We intend to go and investigate. Markets are usually interesting and the charity that supports cancer patients has a booth and has been advertising Christmas specialties. But once again weather intervenes. Radar app had advertised clear skies - no precipitation any nearer than Benghazi - but dark clouds move in and with them strong winds and rain. Am reminded not for the first time of my daughter as a little girl saying indignantly “The weatherman lied - again”. And look for a better world radar map. (Not too difficult to find). 


Well, maybe next week. Not cold but no great desire to walk home in the rain again so market trip postponed until next Saturday.  And from our sitting room watch the clouds move across the Mediterranean from west to east and see a rainbow emerge with one end in the sea and listen to the wind. A good day for making spaghetti sauce and for our Victorian habit of reading aloud.
