Lighthouse Beach, 16:32
 
I have walked to the beach for some exercise and time on my own. The sun blazes down and Abhi’s café has closed for redecorating. Mani has some new tables and chairs outside which he has started painting in blue and black.
Christine has not sold any of Irma’s stuff yet but seems gratifyingly busy.
I walk round to Leo. On the way I take some postcard–style photographs. I sit in Leo with a lemon ginger soda, which I follow up with a pineapple lassi.
No sugar in either.
