I managed to get my morning walk in between 8 and 9 this morning. I have this thing going on trying to find good times to walk down the high street. I’ve spent several years doing the 0600 – 0700 slot. That had it’s good and its bad sides. I reached a point where I really didn’t appreciate going out at that time. I’ve found that I can get up, I just don’t want to go out. I’ve said not long ago, that I can get up at that time, and go to work, and then take a long break at 8, to walk then.
The really early walk had its nice times, quite a lot of them actually – mainly, the #Breakfastclub and the dog walkers as we got to know each other – they were as regular as I was.
I have to confess that the 8 – 9 time is actually quite boring. Obviously, nothing is open apart from McDonalds, Greggs and a couple of convenience stores – I actually prefer the American term – Bodega. There might be a few more people around, but they are all in a rush.
I had an interesting chat with a chap who was working in the demolition site. He had SOIL on the back of his dayglo jacket. He was quite keen to talk. He was collecting soil samples to test for contaminants. He had no idea about what the plans were for the site. He said that he lives in Hythe, and that they had a similar situation of an unexploited waterfront.
It was quite a pleasant walk.
