Woke up at 2.30 this morning and made tea, checked FB, Twitter and blog pageviews! I like to check in with the different time zones so that I can have realtime conversations with people in America or the Antipodes. Saw there was an earth tremor in Auckland. Happy to be here. Went back to bed and read until 4, then back to sleep, woke up at 7. Nice lazy start to the day.
Shower. Breakfast. Coffee. Walked the dogs along to the lighthouse and along the boardwalk in a nice fresh northwester. So pleased to have cooler weather. Makes me more inclined to walk. Choppy sea, clouds over the mountains. One of those days when the light and atmospheric conditions were not conducive to inspiring photography. It can happen, even in Kommetjie.
Dogs safely back home, I packed my notebook, pen and wallet into a tote and headed for a quiet cappuccino up at the local bistro, Espresso Dotkom. Crowded with Sunday morning breakfasters, dogs and kids but managed to switch off and got some work done. Somehow much easier in a busy place where you are alone. Deep and meaningful conversation with a couple of friends and work over for the day.
Get home and He Who Can Fix Anything is back from weekend racing. Now you see how I can keep to my own clock without complaints! Quiet braai, transcribed notes onto computer. Read. Watered garden.
Now for the exciting part. Waiting for tennis - Indian Wells final between Nadal and Del Potro. Hope it's a good game and not too stressful. Haven't watched tennis since Nadal was injured last year, but now he's back.
Vamos, Rafaaa!
