Waiting to cross over

The street to the left leads down to the seafront. It used to be like the 
Wild West at the weekends.youngsters came from far and wide for parties.
It's deadly now but better for those living there.
A letter finally arrived about my painful hand .I forgot I mentioned it last time.It more or less said the operation was a success so I'll have to live with it.Not much the surgeons can do so I'm now in the Drs care.
I think I need a pint of gin
