A day when wild winds blew clouds scampering across the wet sands. We have wild winds forecast again today, so hope there'll be some clouds to chase. I have a painting to do this morning for my granddaughter so may have to wait to chase the clouds . Machineries of Joy is by British Sea Power
"Power - Force - Motion - drive"....
Micro mechanism of my watch for MacroMondays : Timepieces .
Song by Propaganda.
It was a great gig last night watching British Sea Power at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff. I love watching live music with lots of energy, like watching clouds approach and build up. Like machineries of Joy, one of the tracks they played. So much fun.
A good sunny day today so a long walk down the coast followed by a great gig in Cardiff watching British Sea Power, what could be better. Machineries of Joy is perfect, the wild coast and a wild night, the song is by British Sea Power.

More slate on Easdale - it’s everywhere!
One of the most interesting places I’ve ever been to - Easdale, one of the Slate Islands off the west coast of Scotland, near Oban. Easdale was the centre of a huge slate-making industry in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth century - there are Easdale slates on roofs as far away as Nova Scotia and New Zealand. Then in 1881 disaster struck - a huge storm and subsequent massive sea swamped all the quarries on the island. All the machinery was lost and mining had to end.
The quarries are still filled with water today - the mining machinery is still at the bottom of some of them, so they’re quite eerie and a wee bit sinister. And the island is covered with bits of slate, millions of pieces of it. It’s very other-worldly.
For more about the Slate Islands and the rest of my trip:
