A cloudy morning turned into a beautiful spring like afternoon. After a routine dental check up, I went out for a photo walk. Had a very pleasant walk from Hammersmith to Barnes along the river. Then a bus into Richmond and a beer or two in a riverside pub. Life is good.

I’m on my second mug of coffee now, which will help wash down the plate of bacon sarnies that I just made (and ate).

I have to go to work this afternoon. However, this morning, I’ve been doing a little exercise (my wife bought a step, a simple device but one that raises heart-rate). I can be a desk potato at home, and I sit down at work, so movement is good.

I found an old diary, from 1980. That’s literally half a lifetime ago. The entries are quite sparse, but I can recall some of the reasons for some of my actions back then. With reflection, I would have made some different choices. Not that I am unhappy with where I am now, but how one’s interests, and likes and dislikes change over almost a half century.

The weather has stayed bright and sunny all day, which is nice. It’s a shame that I’m working until 10.30 this evening, so I can’t really enjoy it. Mind you, I’m writing this at 4.45 pm, so in another hour the sun will be almost gone.

Today, looking out of the window, it’s deceptive. It’s bright, dry and sunny. Looks very spring-like. However, step outside, and it’s like walking into a refrigerator, with the ambient temperature just a couple of degrees above freezing.

I had a lie in this morning. It’s 6.50 am. I didn’t have to get up as early as during the week. There’s time for coffee at home right now, so off to the kitchen I go!
