March meme, Days 2 and 3

[thismaz]

I went for a walk along the coast yesterday. The air was misty and the sea was as flat as a mirror. There were two ships at anchor, waiting for their turn to enter the river and they were floating on a silver plate. Closer to the shore the waves hitting the beach were soft and low, but there were still a few people out with their surf boards.

I think when the structure of work goes and you add on top of that the lockdowns and that uncertainty it is not surprising that you feel slightly in flux. I hope that when we all have some kind of normality things will resolve for you. It's not like there's much out there to volunteer for at the moment is there :(

I must admit it took me ages to get used to being retired and once I had settled down into a new routine it was OK, but of course everything was so much more normal when I gave up work.

I wish we were nearer to the sea - I love it when we visit Eldest Cee and walk along the beach - it's so dramatic looking at the sea. He has such a lovely view from his flat I'm really jealous that he gets to have a living picture from his main living rooms.

Sparrow said a year. My sister said two *g* I have decided the adjustment period starts once the pandemic is over *g*

It was lovely to walk along the beach. I am usually a bike rider, so don't normally go down there. I would hate to live far from the sea.

I like walks like that. Our promenade is one of my favourite walking places.

It's the fact that it's never the same, one day to the next, isn't it. I love living close to the water.
I went to Cullercoats and ended up walking round by the Priory and along to the top, above the Fish Quay by The New Wooden Doll (which now has some sort of very silly name).

What a truly lovely scene you set. I volunteer a lot at my church. I'm good at administrative stuff. And I help organize things like our food pantry. I'm pretty happy with that.

At the moment I'm sleeping instead of exercising in the morning. That has to change. I'm watching my weight creep up and my energy go down.

It sounds like your volunteering is very valuable.

It's funny how we all know that exercising makes us feel so much better, but it's so hard to start to do *g*

" There were two ships at anchor, waiting for their turn to enter the river and they were floating on a silver plate. Closer to the shore the waves hitting the beach were soft and low, " You're still a writer, love! :)

I've also thought about the volunteering stuff, but in the current circumstances it's almost impossible to either decide or commit. Being suspended between those two states is both frustrating and seductive as it means I don't have to actually do anything!

Thank you. Now all I need to do is pick up that pen and notebook that have been sitting untouched for the past few years *g*

Yes, frustrating and seductive in equal measure. That's a perfect description.
