Sunday, November 30/2025


Love looking at the sea every morning, and as the colour changes throughout the day. Have found a site that shows 144 different shades of blue, complete with names (useful) as well as Hex, RGB, and CMYK codes (well beyond my blogging requirements). Think this morning’s sea is Beau Blue, a faint blue grey, although there are other possibilities. Sometimes the demarcation between sea and sky completely disappears and other times the sea is a dark, vibrant blue - or even multicoloured. 

Another day of contrasts. Wake to strong winds. Chairs still on the terrace, although I think the wind would have to lift them a good two metres to do anything other than shuffle them about. Intermittent spots of rain but wouldn’t amount to more than a splat in a gauge. East of us, on the Karpaz peninsula, there are reports of hail, though.
