Hitchhiker


According to the thermometer when i set out on my walk it was 25 degrees. Upon my arrival back home i was informed it was 26 degrees. Whatever the temperature at the moment it is making this walking lark a whole lot harder.

There were lots of people out and about today either walking or cycling. It made it feel like a saturday. Everyone is always so friendly saying hello as you pass bye or sometimes engaging in conversation. Talking of cycling i've noticed i've started to get a bit of an urge to go for a ride. Obviously that is not going to happen for many reasons but it would be nice to go for a little pedal around.

At one point i was walking along and something made me look over my left shoulder. It was then i was confronted with a huge beetle that had decided to hitch a ride. Fortunately it flew off rather sharpish. Beetles don't bother me and so i didn't make a fuss. If on the other hand it had been a spider i would have cried, screamed, flapped about and all sorts of other hysterical behaviour.

A RAF plane which appeared to have taken off from Brize Norton flew over quite low so i tried to take a picture. I couldn't see my screen because of the sun which was a hinderance. In fact such a hinderance the only pictures i got were of the blue sky.

Those horses that i previously said were not nice confirmed that fact today. I know that when their ears are flattened back they aren't happy. What about when they bob their head up and down? This horse kept following me and doing that and just generally looked quite intimidating. I was grateful for the tiny electric fence that parted us although if it had wanted to could quite easily have jumped over.

One thing i did notice today was that i didn't suffer half as much with the hayfever. Maybe it was because i went out later?

In other news i really craved an ice cream.
