Solitude

The more time I spend by myself - the more I desire it and positively protect it! I did an Alzheimers screening test yesterday - which along with recommendations for my diet, advised me to spend more time with other people!! Which of course is guaranteed to make me do the opposite - being a contrary individual and disliking intensely being told what to do - even if it is for my own good! I had thought I would miss the banter of work - but find I don't miss that either! I do believe if I carry on I will become a recluse, with my chickens and assorted animals! 
I took Kess for a walk in Tavistock Park today, as I intended calling into the market in the hope that the man who sold me a vintage gnome ( which I then forgot to pick up on my way back to the car!) would be there. He wasn't which was sort of good as Kess is definitely not a lead dog and was a positive menace on the pavements! However he had made me laugh doing a search and seek for his ball when he failed to see where it landed. He would do wide sweeps, moving inwards, and when this failed simply found a stick instead! 
So my blip for the day is this lost in the mist shot - for Kess's missing ball and my quest for solitude! 
( Did find another vantage point from which to look down upon Calstock - spent ages trying to get the tones right and then chose this having eaten my fish pie which obviously helped my brain decide!)
