Hello, Wall
Could this be the first early start of the summer? Four-thirty, wide awake, raring to go… once I’ve had maybe just one more cup of tea… No idea why I’m up so early. Maybe it was because I was asleep by 9.30 last night, apparently just missing a power cut which happened a short time later. Perhaps it was because I was out for a walk yesterday, had plenty of fresh air, came home and did some writing which went well, and I wanted to get up early to do the same again. Who knows, but I was on the balcony before it got light, the weather is warm enough now to allow that. Apparently, we’re expecting a heatwave this weekend with temperatures into the 30s. We will see.
Neil also went walking yesterday, but where I did my usual route, he walked to Nimborio and back, clocking up something like 6.5 miles on his steps counter. I’m interested to see how his walking is when he wakes up.
As for the day ahead… Well, I have a couple of things to finish off on the typewriter before I settle down to more of my own writing, we may need some more shopping, and I may go out on my walk route again. I’ve been watching the guys making a stone wall along the edge of the main road. This is on the way out of the village where I saw the drainage channels having grilles put over them the other day. Now a wall is being built on the road side of the grilles, presumably as part of the anti-flooding measures. (Not the walls shown above, down a bit around the corner.) It’s a long, low wall of roughly cut stone and I’ll get a photo one day. I don’t like to take one now as the boys are working on it and might think I am photographing them for some nefarious reason, but when the coast is clear.
Gosh, is that all I have on look forward to? A new wall? No, I have a day of sun, spelling mistakes and something on TV later, so I’ll get started and check in again tomorrow.
