I had a simply splendid time yesterday. It was quite cold, and I was a bit worried
that it would rain, but aside from a few short wet episodes that we dealt with
by dint of careful timing of shopping etc it was dry. Although there is much to be said for a clear
blue sky, one populated with interesting clouds is perhaps even better for
photographs, and as you can see I took many.
It was a long day. I
got up at six and only returned after midnight . But I managed to cram in everything that
makes a day wonderful. Stimulating
conversation with lovely people, lots of walking, discovery of new sights, a
boat trip, and I even found a nice scarf (ancient Tie Rack, £15). Also there was lots of great food. And last but not least, I had plenty of time
to reflect on the past and consider the future.
I am a very lucky person, blessed with good friends, interesting work, a
stimulating and beautiful environment, and the talents and disposition to make
the most of it. And I have the 26th
of April, which I shall treasure as long as I live.
