An end of indolence
Slugging had to end today. Up early in the sun and off to the supermarket, and then for a much needed haircut. Philosophical feelings about seeing the grey hair in my lap, remembering the black curls of yesteryear. Searching again for the mute button on the barber.
Lorraine and I strolled down by the sea, which was bustling and fun. Eventually we stopped at the cafe, where we shared a hunk of rock cake and had coffees. A clear day and Worthing distinct in the distance.
In the evening off to see Where the wild things are having failed to get into the 3D Avatar. Where the wild things are, is based on the Maurice Sendak book. It's director Spike Jonze says is not a film for children but "a movie about childhood". Some beautiful surrealistic moments and fantasy. But to me it seemed 20 minutes too long,despite only coming in at about 1hr 40mins. But well worth seeing.
Home and a long chat with Toby, who had just returned from Deviation Road which is under thick snow. Telling me about his holiday in St Lucia, floating in the warm sea at sundown.
