Monday, May 23

I woke up to a hot dry day that closely resembled the ones we woke up to when we arrived three weeks ago. I woke up early and decided to go for a walk.

I set off up the hill with the intention of seeing if I could walk to Rahaath. I got almost up to the top and decided that:

A) yes I could; but
B) I would prefer to wear trainers rather than flip-flops; and
C) I would prefer to have a destination where I could stop for awhile.

Having thought all this I turned round and walked back down the hill again.

Later I collect some parcels from Lekha, and decide to walk to the beach. I end up doing the same kind of thing. I walk down to Temple Place and just far enough along the path to the beach to photograph the signpost. Then I realise that I don’t want a beer or a lemon soda, or indeed anything at all, at Leo, or anywhere else on the beach, but I do want some dal at home.

So, exercise done, I turn back.
