It must be a Friday thing ....

Like last Friday, my human woke up to the sound of rainfull. It was a pretty miserable day, However, undeterred the human kept to her plan to take the ferry to Manly Island.

The rain eased off a little while we were there and we took a stroll around Manly Beach. Manly obviously has aspirations to be Brighton but unfortunately still has some of the worst elements of Blackpool. However, they do share one of the Blackpool's more favourable traits - Manly is the place to eat fish 'n' chips.

We found a very nice restaurant for our fish 'n' chips lunch and due to the wet and windy weather my human pushed the boat out, so to speak, had had a sticky date pudding.

We then made our way back for the return trip. The return crossing was a little more choppy and the rain relentless.

The idea was to spend some time at the Museum of Contemporary Art but although we made a brief stop there, we were soon heading back to our hotel - if only to avoid people thanking us for bringing the rainy weather and having to explain that London is in the middle of a heatwave.

We're hoping that the Friday rain pattern is not repeated next week.
