A combination of things saw me remain indoors today. However, just after 10, when the shop opened, I wandered across the park to buy bread. The sun shone, the sky was blue, an aircraft flew 32,000 feet above us making his way toward the Americas, and all appeared well with the world.
Of course, if we only look at what is in front of our nose we can ignore the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, the war in Syria or Ukraine, and conflicts in various parts of Africa. We can also ignore the suffering closer to home as we either do not see or know about it, or it is kept secret from us, not everyone wishes to share their problems with the world.
So I wandered across the path enjoying being outside in such weather, and also enjoying the sight of greenery in the sunshine. Just walking through a small area of parkland can enliven the spirit, especially if much time has been spent indoors. The green has an affect on our spirits, some like to call this 'spiritual,' it is not, but it does hearten the mind. Others, with or without dogs, were also being heartened though this did not always show. Quite quiet being early, the shop opened, a few were in desparately filling the trolley, I grabbed my few bits and hobbled gladly back home.
So, having checked that the Daffodills outside the Council offices are well ahead of the other council ones, watched two miserable football matches, and listened to three tracks from AC/DC to bring some excitement into my day, I now end it with tired timewasting on the internet.
More excitement tomorrow awaits...

Six rounds with Hacienda - the taxman - today......I need to lie down in a darkened room.
Fly, I'm sure this was a simple and straight forward procedure...unless he thinks you belong to the Tory Party.
