Thursday, August 8

I couldn’t resist. This morning I got up and got on the cycle, and cycled to Putila Beach to pump iron again. This time the beach is practically deserted. The only other people in sight are occasional joggers and one other man doing yogic exercises.

I spend twenty minutes on the equipment and then cycle home the long way. On the way back I stop for a Coke and Kismet. Healthy or what!

After breakfast we will decide that the weather is not good enough to drive to Pellinki today, but it is good enough for me to paint the final wall of the shed. I will spend several hours doing this, after which I will clean the summer paint brushes.
