Beach Buoy and two dogs arrived around 6-10 pm. Spits of rain hit the windscreen as they arrived to the sight of a learner driver stopping, starting and turning their way nervously around the uneven surface of the car park. They walked down the ramp to the beach. Beach Buoy noticed an oval shaped stone; dry apart from two raindrop marks that looked like eyes on a red pebble face. Beach Buoy looked out to sea. The horizon showed a blanket of cloud, slowly moving south. A red ship to the far north glowed slightly, hinting that the north was having better weather tonight? The tide was on the way out. The air was cold in the breeze from the north. Beach Buoy pulled up his waterproof hood, it when then he realised the "Rain." was a little heavier than he had thought as it was now audible on the waterproof material. It turns out that the "Rain" was in fact Hail.
