The raspberries are excellent this year so far.

I felt the need to offline for an hour, so I walked into town while listening to Spaceman’s Transmissions and got an early lunch and a glass of wine.

That’s the Halfpenny Green Red Sparkling, for those keeping count. (Yes, Mark, I see you.) And also a leather small-carry shoulder bag which I cannot recall the purchase location of.

I brought my notebook but didn’t open it in the end, or read a book or read the news. My body decided it was time to just spend a little while in the sun with the flavours and nothing else.

This is the Camel Trophy Off Road watch, which I appear to have not written up here, but on the newsletter instead, so I’ll have to copy that over at some point. (And yes, the date window appears to have an issue.)

Every now and then you need an hour of just doing nothing at all.
