Beach Buoy woke at 5 am.
He stretched out an ear to try and listen from the darkness for any clues as to what the weather may be doing.
It sounded still, no wind.
Not raining too, he thought, just as raindrops began to fall.
He checked his mobile phone for the weather forecast.
50% chance of rain for pretty much most of day.
He went downstairs and made a milky coffee.
When it was time for the beach Stubborn Dog wouldn't budge.
Beach Buoy acted out the
'OK I'm going without you.' routine... nothing
'Beach?' ...nothing.
'Walk?' ... nothing.
'Van?.' ... nothing.
It was only when he turned off the lights, as he said 'Goodbye.'
went and opened the front door, pretending to close it from the outside, did Stubborn Dog make a move.
They reached the car park at 7-42 am.
Stubborn Dog wasn't keen.
Beach Buoy carried him to the beach.
It was a waste of time.
To make Stubborn Dog more stubborn, it started to rain.
His Lordship was carried back to the Promenade Wall.
Coffee and Radio.
The Radio was turned down when the heavy rain started landing on the van's rood.
Stubborn Dog looked at Beach Buoy as if to say.
'See!'
' You idiot'.
Goodbye Sea... for now.
BEACH BUOY.
