Hi to everybody...well, got into Boscombe as we thought we would...pottered round the shops for about half an hour getting the odd bit of shopping we needed then checked the clock and it was already ten to three...we realised then that by the time we got down to the front another quarter of an hour would have gone by and then walked along the front, the sun would have gone down and it would be pretty cold when we reached Bournemouth and hung around waiting for the packed bus at 4.10...if we even managed to get that one...the next one was an hour later, so ended up coming back home again and discovered it was very chilly once the sun went down at 4.20 to 30...gorgeous sunset...saw it all from the bus and was really glad we made the decision to come home. I find walking with winter clothes on really hard work. They weigh me down and make walking difficult, and feeling chilly as well only makes it worse. Hubby was either sleep deprived or particularly deaf today because he kept saying things to me so quietly with his head turned away so I couldn't hear what it was he was saying, or walking faster than I could keep up or being just plain dumb, so I got very ratty and grumpy, but as soon as I got home and had my coffee, relaxed and then cooked dinner, I was fine again...
Hmmm...not the day we had planned but probably I was like I was because poor old Boscombe is really a depressing place in the winter...people there look so world weary and clearly are, and I find that hard to deal with...it's dead as a door nail on a Sunday as well then you can see how tired looking it is but its centre isn't too bad for shops and things, it's just got problems...and I can't help feeling shocked when I see so many unbelievably overweight women around - it's really frightening...some can barely walk...if this problem is going to get worse, I have no idea how we're going to cope with it...
Ah well, tonight I'm going to snuggle down and watch Blood Ties, Bones, Men in Trees, and if I'm not completely square eyed after that...Masters of Science fiction....then I'm going to bed...so big hugs to you all, have a restful night, and sweet dreams....
