Pause for thoughts

After a slow motion morning I finally made it down to town in time for my acupuncture session (the day has changed from Tuesday) and thanks to that I felt up to a little zap round the shops afterwards. Gratitude that the torrential rain had stopped and for the freshness in the air. Gratitude for Rachel's restoration and for finding a couple of good books in the Sue Ryder shop. Well they looked good from their covers anyhow!

I went to our quaint old fashioned non-chain fruit and veg shop and while I was there suddenly remembered I'd a cauliflower in the fridge so thought I'd best rush home and cook it with some cheese sauce before the inclination and energy drained away.

But first I had to look at the sea...it's been hurling itself at the land all week and there's debris all along the promenade. There were some good rolling waves for the surfers and a fine mist of spray all along the edge of the land.


And now I'm home and the cauliflower cheese is made and a little of it eaten and I give thanks for that but now have a great need to rest again. I just started to watch something on TV and realised if I did I would never get this written. So I give thanks for the pause button once again and for the subject of the programme paused - the glorious Natural History Museum in London. Never mind the natural history...I love the building itself!
