Wet and muggy ...
23rd
July 2020 (Thursday) 08.00 .... The plan is to go out on the
bike in
the afternoon; right now it’s a warm, wet and misty morning; a good morning for reading a book. The book I’m reading just now is about India
in the middle of the 19th century... the days of the ‘Raj’.... when Britain
ruled South Asia. It’s a fascinating book.

21.00 I’ve had a busy day. After the drizzle/rain stopped I went to
the beach; and a lot of other folks did
the same. I like to see the beach with
people doing ‘beach things’ .... enjoying themselves each in their own
way. I met Billy (Donaldson) .... he
was sitting on the Cockstail rocks because the seats at the Breakwater, where
he would normally sit, were all occupied.

I
couldn’t go out in the afternoon because I was waiting for a delivery
(shoes). The van arrived (about 14.00 I
think it was) so I got a coat of polish on them and thought I might as well break then in. I did think of going out on the bike but the
roads were busy so I went as far as The Hutte.
I don’t know if anyone remembers but 15 months or so ago I had a problem
with feeling that I was walking on balloons;
I even went to the Doctor and had my ears checked.... but we couldn’t
find anything wrong. Today, after I put
on the new shoes, I had that same feeling.
The shoes I buy have little balloon things on the sole (air pockets they
call them) and guess what .... not only do they make me feel I’m walking on balloons; I am walking on balloons! When did I buy my last pair of new shoes? er....
15 months ago. It’s exciting being ‘me’.
I
eventually got the bike out after dinner and went up to Chapel Green. It is a lovely
evening and there was a lot
of activity on the beach, the water and walkers going round Chapel green. I don’t think I have ever seen the villages
as busy as they are just now; and August
is usually busier.

‘M’
isnae on Skype tonight; well we can’t
get connected so I won’t get any New Zealand news. New Zealand is having the usual politician
ailment just now - scandal! No ... I am not going to go ‘off on one’
about politicians again.... I’m feeling happy and don’t want to spoil the
feeling.
