Raining to day

Hi Everyone,
9th June,
We got up early did all the laundry and was going on the ferry
to Pico, but it started to rain, the very hard and we couldn't see Pico so it wasn't worth going.
When it eased off we walked to an old whaling factory, The machinery was fascinating with huge boiling & cooking tanks, they seemed to use every part of the whale, bones got dried & crushed to make bone meal, blood for fertilizer, blubber for oil
and candles and many other things (can't remember it all).
There was also 3 buildings that received the cables from
America, then out to Europe (before Satellites) and very
large metal buoys.
So the day wasn't wasted.
bye for now, Love Margaret xxxxx
