Actually think no walk is wasted. Exercise, good for mind and body. At the time felt different.
Wed Nov 2. Dental appointment 1145. Built my day around it. Bath and clean clothes. Part of T20 cricket, on radio: Bangladesh v India. Snack at 10. Sunny, 13 deg. Jumper. Did without raincoat. Walked via Tannery estate, City Wall walk, Creine Mill Lane S and N [don’t know where that name comes from], Old Watling St. St Peters Grove. Cross St Peters St by St Peters church. Told appointment for next week. . . Annoyed. My diary had today. My error or theirs? Still think i was right, but no use arguing.
Need to calm self. Excellent coffee from Cafe San Pierre. Noticed lettering on wind vane above Westgate tower. Binox revealed WH 26M46 or similar. Chose scenic route home. Graveyard by Guildhall, unlocked. Westgate gardens. Lots bedding plants and gardeners preparing to plant them. Group of possible rough sleepers singing to Radio Gaga on radio. During lockdown government provided money to accommodate them in a hotel. What help now for the increasing number? Left to charities i expect: Catching Lives and Porchlight.
On through Toddlers Cove. Short walk between Bingley Court housing and river. Through tunnel into trading estate, cross Simmonds Rd to Spring gardens and across Wincheap to home. City Council plans to put all inbound traffic on Wincheap onto a widened Simmonds Rd. How will that affect pedestrians? Generally thought to be an ill thoughtout scheme. Paid for by developers.
India beat Bangladesh in rain-affected match in Adelaide.
Count positives. Walk in Sun. Havent fallen while walking for ages
