Thursday Evening

Good evening,

Well this morning after some water and anti-inflammatories I made it to the shop without being sick or keeling over.
And there I bought butter and milk and other food and also deodorant.
Never buy deodorant from your corner shop, poor selection and expensive, but I used the last of mine yesterday and was in a hurry to recover in time to walk up to lunch club.

I got home and did peanut butter on toast and tea with real milk for breakfast, I had been looking forward to it for days but I didn't have much appetite when it came to enjoying it.
So I had my wash, did a bit of computer stuff and headed for lunch.

A hot day with clear skies was going on, so I set off with my swimsuit on under my beach shorts and teeshirt, and enjoyed a leisurely walk along the seafront, the front was busy and some of the bach too, but further along under the cliffs was quieter, I had my huffing puffing climb up the cliff, and suddenly my memory came back, I used to live up here, in the lodging house, before I got my flat! :) Ah, sweet memories. I used to stand on the cliff top at night or early morning and look at the sea, but I am happy to live down in town now, it is easier on my back to live in a more level area, the cliff top is all hills and huffs and puffs one way or another.

I walked down to lunch, and a train went shooting and tooting past, and again, I remembered that I miss the trains, one thing I hated about Jersey was no train, the grockle train is not a train, it is a way of fleecing grockles when they should walk their own little legs along the front.
Anyway, it was nice to step out of my very small world for a while and go back a bit and out a bit.

I went in to lunch and got a friendly welcome, I sat with some people I didn't know, when I get there it is always so hot and crowded, I tend to go in, recoil, go back out and then go in again, dunno what they think of that.
But anyway, I sat with a quiet couple and two ladies who were having deep conversations, I  had plenty of room, we had hot quiche and hot Jersey royals with butter, and plenty of salad. Eating Jersey Royals always makes me grin nortily, because I always think 'Eating the Bailhache Brothers'.

We did the quiz, and I was a bit rubbish because it is all films and celebrities, not my strong point, I got 17 out of 30something, and at our table we begged him to start doing history and geography quizzes :)

We had strawberry gataux with cream for dessert, and then coffee and mints, it is done in style at my luncheon club! :) I've missed them, I haven't gone there for a while just due to life and distance and mainly hanging out at the drop in, I am having a break from the drop in.
A bit like homeless daycentres, you can end up dependent, and it is summer, I should be on the beach.

Anyway, talking of beaches, after lunch, and yes I know what they say about swimming after lunch :( I wandered down the cliff and back up the front to my beach, feeling still a bit tired and ill from the morning, and wondered if I even should swim, but I did, had a good sploshy swim in the big old waves, looked up at the Great Hill, beautiful against the pale blue sky, and oh what a glorious day!
I had a brief sunbathe, I am mildly allergic to the sun, and last year I made myself sick from sunburn, so this year more careful.
Then I clothed myself in beach clothes, I never take a towel, it's just, swimsuit under teeshirt and shorts, and then wet swimsuit under rather wet and sandy teeshirt and shorts, and when I get home it all goes in the bowl for a rinse.
Anyway, the tide was coming in, so I walked the tide and picked up shells and stones I liked for my room, and then sat on the wall and dreamed and watched the ships.

When I got home I had a bath, and have overcooked the pizza.
The blog stats on the church blog are doing well without me posting anything
I will now watch movies. I am on the last episode of season 6 of Buffy, the one where Willow goes completely bonkers, ahh.
I do not really like season 6 much, basically from season 5 onwards it all gets increasingly grim and it is different from seasons 1-4, which I prefer, I prefer the old days, no Dawn, Willow with Oz etc, not that I dislike Tara, she and Willow are sweet together, but, the dynamics of the scooby gang changed too much really with Dawn and Tara and no Oz, and I liked Oz, well I like Seth Green, but never mind.
Did someone just say 'Geek'? :)
Anyway, last word, I do not like Season 7 at all apart from Spike being insane. But I will watch it nonetheless.
