Unplanned days ~ surprise!
Just thinking
Lock down – Covid 19 business.
I’m happy about that.
Books to catch up
I enjoy baking, bread on these way. Our neighbours shopped for us – over 2 hours in the supermarket.
Social media (and my age group stop whingeing) is the catch up on news and laughter. With valued people.
Morning walks are even more special.
Breakfast dishes just done and over 2000 steps already.
And loving it.
The aches, Cocvd 19 concerns flow down the river.
Now I swim alone. Summer crowds have dissolved. Silence, one indignant duck
And mysterious splash.
Tomorrow prepare for lockdown.
Cat fed, breakfast served, dishes washing themselves on the bench top.
Morning walk. 5,000 steps to do today, plus swim in the river.
Anguish. Not knowing. Then the villain turns up end of the day. Din dins. Wretch.
Roar and echo of the street sweeping truck. From the balcony below a woman greets on old friend on her mobile. Prattle of a motor scooter which stops at the lights. Far away a siren. Late nighters call out farewells. Whirr of the fridge drowned by a helicopter. Auckland city.
Silent and silver, the moon
Smart open top mini sports. Fascia in old world styling, but modern and all eager to go. Lucky to find a parking spot, there is now an app for this.
Mainly well dressed people go about purposefully, but, Parnell has lost its fizz. So many empty spaces for lease, making it harder for the stayers.
Find car ferry, ferry to Half Moon Bay. Arguments with GPS, navigate against Friday traffic, find apartment. Sleep in.
Breakfast, maybe visit city gallery
A bird was there
Late afternoon tide. Cooler but still pleasant. Teenagers, one ball, play volley ball, soccer and play boxing. Boys pick up girls carry to water, squeals.
A lone seagull hops by, scanning for a bite to eat
Pain-au-Raisin on wooden table
