More rocks?

Today has been sunny and hot again. Yesterday the sun was out too, which makes perfect rock-fall weather – the rain makes things muddy and the rocks come loose, and then the sun dries it all and the rocks expand, and dislodge. There actually was a rockfall again yesterday, and parts of Jamestown were evacuated and roads closed off. When Nick got home from church he was surprised to see us at home! Possibly we were supposed to be evacuated, but since Nick was out with the car they may have assumed no one was home. Or perhaps we weren’t in the danger area. Either way, no rocks fell on our house! Yesterday afternoon, since the weather was so perfect, we took a walk down through the Run to town, and then all the way to the docks, where we fed the fish. They’re already pretty well fed with the sewerage, but it’s always nice to give them some unprocessed food. A couple was fishing on the rocks, and had already caught a huge eel – looked like a big snake with long fins and a toothed snout. They had smacked it on the head a few times with a plank to stun it, but when it revived it started writhing on the rocks, moving inefficiently on the land. The chap caught another fish while we watched, but after bashing that one a few times to quieten it enough to remove the hook, he decided he didn’t want it so threw it back. I wonder if the salt water heals its wounds or if it simply becomes easy food?
