Tuesday 10th July 2001 – 8.41am
Gulls everywhere. This morning a whole gang of them decided to wake the neighbourhood at 4am, shrieking and calling, circling and daring each other to create maximum havoc. Troublemakers. Now, odd gulls roam the bankside hunting out shellfish, while above me more ride the strong south wind as it passes over the bridge. The heavy rain of this morning has just left, leaving a windy day in shock.
