Quick walk

It's rained today which has been good on two counts.

Firstly, we need it!

Secondly, the first day of the holidays for me has often been a slothful day of nothingness as I allow myself to wind down and slip easily into a relaxed state. This begins with the side-lining of my watch, a gesture which means I'll to be driven by my body clock. I love living this way.

It was no surprise then that it was deep into the afternoon before I headed to town to pick up a couple of things I wanted. I took the van so that I could drive out to the Boulder Bank afterwards and have a cuppa, some fresh air and some relaxed time. Despite it raining and being very grey it was great to be out there. I think I stayed for an hour or two but I can't be sure.

This chap's stay was, however a lot shorter. He screeched up alongside me, jumped out of his car, marched intently over the rocks then stood in the greyness looking out to sea for about a minute before turning around, striding back to his car, hopping in, revving it hard a few times then screeching off. Interesting!

(The misty greyness comes from shooting it through the rainy van window!)

And that was day one of the holiday. :) All good :)
