The wind blows strongly, and I continue to enjoy my stay in La Scie.

Today, I sat in the sun, out of the wind, macrameing a bracelet from embroidery floss found at the local hardware store. I also visited the Outport Tearoom, where I researched Newfoundland words and expressions while enjoying home baked partridgeberry pie. And now, I'm at the public library at the computer.

I've had me lashins (plenty) of wind! But at least I didn't have to chinch (to stow tightly) full me kayak today. And no quotting today in the drysuit. ( crouching or squatting;-) ) And this morning, I handwashed me step'ines to dry quickly on the line in the wind. (underwear;-) ) Do ye twig what I wrote? (understand) It appears that I'm going full bim around Newfoundland. (as fast as I can go.) It takes some gumptions to paddle Round the Rock in a kayak, solo. It would be stun as me arse to go out though in high winds. ( not too bright) I'm not that burnt. (crazy) But even when I'm not paddling, I'm gutfounded. (hungry) But an angishore, I'm not! (a weak, miserable person) How ye gettin' on b'y? (How are you doing?) Enough work to do to make ye yuck! (vomit;-) ) Me hands are no longer galled (blistered). I am in the mood for a twirlie. (soft ice cream) Last night there was quite the scoff at the household where I'm staying. (an awesome meal) Me knows I'm some ticket. (unique, no one quite like myself) Do you like twirlies? The protected harbour is even loppy today. (small breaking seas) I don't mind this slinge. (staying away from school or work) See ya!

Last evening, when it was duckish (the time between sunset and dark), dramatic clouds filled the sky. It was a glorious evening, as daisies nodded wildly in the hefty wind.
