Sunday, May 16

I walk around the area listening to podcasts in the bright sunlight. I can hear Sunday noises as neighbours play with their cars and motorbikes while children play hockey in the road.

I walk down Riskutie past a man building a new fence where none previously existed.

A woman in a large red rucksack walks past me and strides off towards the horizon. I stop to let her slipstream catch up with her.

The weather has turned hot so that I wear only trousers and a t-shirt. I will manage like this all day, for the first time in a year or so,
