Hello Everyone .

I'm sitting here with a headache which is nothing new and i remembered
to take one of those tablets before i left for my walk but i was
thinking how much i enjoyed today's walk. Please let me explain the
wonders of the day.......Oh wait......one more thing....i didn't leave
for the walk till later as i haven't slept much in the
last....ummmm.....Life time so today the body didn't let me have any
say in the matter and kept me in bed till 10:48 am. Yesterday i had
just under 1 hour and 25 minutes sleep but last night i was out cold
from 3 am till 9:30 am and then as i tried to get up i remember
blinking and it was suddenly 10:30 :-). By the time i was able to
focus it was 10:48am so i got up and got ready . OK lets get on with
today's walk shall we .

( Insert body controlled little pause here while i have a drink of my
most yummy hot mug of tea which i didn't have time for before i left
).

I left for my walk at 11:04 and 31 seconds and walked up the road. I
passed the fish and chip shop where i didn't see anyone through the
clean windows as the sun was reflecting from them. I passed the
insurance place and the ladies were working merrily ( I don't want
to include that the lady at the front of the shop looked sweet as I'm
going to sound like an *** obsessive desperate chappy......i mean
being an obsessive chappy is ok as long as no one knows LOL ). I
passed the car park and then the bus stop where an older chappy and
two late ****aged ladies were waiting for the bus . A brisk stroll
up the main road followed and this was the first part of a wonderful
walk. I felt the sun on my face and though its quite cold here the
heat was welcoming. I saw the sky and the cloud cover was beautiful. A
dappled effect that was ordered chaos with a hint of calming cover
that made me feel very safe. I touched the thoughts of memory and
found them not to be hostile as they can be on occasion but gentle and
peaceful. I carried on to the traffic lights being happy that i had
left at this time but the hedge on the side of the path facing the sun
gave a strobe like effect and made my head feel light. I passed the
traffic lights and then the bus stop and pub before walking down the
hill and up the steps.

( Insert a small pause here while i drink more of my yummy mug of tea
).

( Insert a second pause here while i have a cigarette....i wont be
long ).

I walked around the first round about and then the second and after
passing the slip road challenge a kind person waved me across the road
and i walked up the hill to the gap . As i crossed the road and
walked down the small road my head was thumping merrily and even
though this is painful it wasn't that saddening as i was feeling good
about the day. I did have a little scare when i saw an older lady
crossing the road in front of a white van who saw her thankfully and
slowed down an awful lot so they didn't hit her but it was a close
shave. I wondered if you get to a point in your life that safety no
longer bothers you and i wondered when this day would come for me as
I'm a very safe type chappy. I don't just look both ways when crossing
the road.......No not me....i look both ways and then both ways again
not to mention up and down and then left and right just in
case......well I'm not a fan of being run over and it makes sense to
be safe to me. I crossed the road and walked past the cemetery saying
hello to the residents and saluting twice before sending a special
hello to Simon. I wandered back to the first round about and up the
hill to the pub.

( Insert a small pause here while i make sure the computer is working
ok.......I don't want to make any mistakes and have to start my type
up again ).

Oh Am i happy i checked that.....my computer just crashed and it was
seconds after i saved my post . Now that's good news. I think i was
doing a little too much on the system and it couldn't cope . Anyway
lets continue shall we .

I walked back to the traffic lights and then to the little old lady in
the window who was sleeping today and i thought that sounds like a
nice idea . I wandered down the main road and through the shopping
area which was busy today but no one was getting in my way so it was a
calming experience . I walked down the main road and didn't see a
soul.......nor did i see any bikes or cars of interest either . I
reached the first gap and thought the walks going to be dull to type
up for the second part if i don't see some thing fast . I wandered
back up the other side of the road and walked through the second gap
as there was no point visiting Wayne's flat as no one was in ( I was
told they were all working or at school so there would be little point
visiting the front door :-). I wandered back up the main road all the
way to the shopping area and still i didn't see a soul but this didn't
matter as the first part of the walk was packed with interest for me
. I strolled down my street and found myself happy that i had gone
out and enjoyed such a wonderful day . 43 minutes of happiness in a
24 hour period.....worth every second .. I hope you are all feeling
well and have enjoyed this weeks second walk .

I was out for 43 minutes 48 seconds and 96 hundredths of a second .

Hi Graff
I am glad you had such a pleasant walk in spite of another headache.
{{{{{{Graff}}}}}}}
You are probably one of the few people I know that can still manage to find
pleasure in the day while battling a terrible headache.
I am happy to see you were finally able to get some rest. I am sure it felt
pretty good to be able to sleep more than an hour or two.
I really enjoyed your walk and I hope the rest of your day was as pleasant as
your walk. .

Hey Graff,
You said, left for my walk at 11:04 and 31 seconds and walked up the
road. I
passed the fish and chip shop where i didn't see anyone through the
clean windows as the sun was reflecting from them.

Graff how is the fish and chips there? Do you know in the US, fish is
popular but not really with the chips? Is chips in England french fries or
potato chips or neither? Have you gone in there to get some fish and chips
lately?
I passed the
insurance place and the ladies were working merrily ( I don't want
to include that the lady at the front of the shop looked sweet as I'm
going to sound like an *** obsessive desperate chappy.....

Graff can I borrow that ?? " *** obsessive desperate chappy" ? Do you
know our ex President Jimmy Carter leered at women too? And then our Pres
Clinton well forget it you know the rest. So compartively speaking, I don't
consider you a *** pervert yet. But keep walking and talking , it may all be
revealed in time. :_)

Hello SYIS

Its a very popular fish and chip shop....the quality is excellent so
i'm told.....i personally don't eat there as i'm a vegan......no not
vulcun.....they are the ones with the pointy ears LOL.


Chips are potato cut thickly and fried.....not thin nasty things in
the UK.....they are better for you also .......Less oil .

As i mentioned.....Im a vegan .

Hee Hee Go for it :-).......try adding a line after it or mix it in
the conversation and say some thing like.......oh i remember
***..........used to last for 8 hours.....then pause........then when
someone says 8 hours tell them well some times you only fancy a quickly LOL.


I didn't know.

Oh i liked him compared with the one that is there now......he is to
fast on the war thing.


Well i don't think i'm a pervert....i do find some ladies very
attractive and beautiful but not in a lecherous way .

Hello Graff :-)

Well, you have rather frequently mentioned that you appreciate a "squishy
bum" on females, so some people know you're at least a little bit of an obessive chappy


Now I like this statement/thought. In an earlier post you tagged me as
being rather literally-minded, and probably not a reader of poetry. You're
quite right on the first point, but only partially on the second. I read
some types of poetry, but tend to like a limited sub-set of the genre.
Have you ever read "The Pasture" by Robert Frost? That's an example of
what I consider/feel to be lovely, evocative writing.

Do keep walking and writing. And if you take up biking again, don't give
up your expedition journals.

(Perhaps we can talk about this power machine of yours in some other post.)

Best wishes to you,

Fig

Hello Figaro .


Well i must say i do like a lady with a squishy bum as when they sit
on your lap the bones don't dig in . Anyway squishy ladies have more
mellowness and kindness in my opinion . I don't have a problem with
anyone's size but as a preference i like to have a nice big squish (
That's a cuddle sent with more mellowness and love if you didn't know
). I wouldn't go as far and say obsessive but it is a nice addition .

I enquired not tagged.....i try not to place people in a little box
marked this person is a......... You did on the last post take all the
words i typed in a literal way and i would like to know if you read any poetry .

For example ?.

I've heard of Robert Frost yes but the poem i don't
recognise.....Coule you please post it ?.

I would like to get back to the biker life style as i once enjoyed it
a lot but due to arthritis its not going to be easy......still its
worth a go . I would like to record my first outing on the new
transport on my video camera and place it on my web site . All i
need now is the transport .


Not a problem . I guess you are into computers also yes ?.


Look after yourself matey .

Hi Graff
I think it is the opposite, the older we get the less immortal we feel I
remember feeling totally invincible in my youth, it is wonder I have made it
the last 36 years<G>
I used to drink like a fish, pop any pill that anyone handed me and walk out in
front of cars.....I kid you not!
Now I am the model of rules, safety and order. Seatbelts, vitamins,
vegetables, etc.<G>


Did your headache come before or after your walk Graff? Is the pain medication
helping? If your headaches persist, you are going to have to see your doctor
again.
Your walk sounded nice and peaceful. The cold air has FINALLY made it down our
way. We were 35 last night (remember I am in Florida) and are expecting single
digits this weekend. A 50 degree difference really takes its toll on your
body

Hello Missy .


Oh i see what you mean i just find some older people i their late 80's
have stated that they no longer fear passing away and wonder what the
next part of life will be. I know what you mean about youth being invincible .

Hee Hee Oh i haven't reached that part in my life yet . I'm still
reckless.......i have been known to have that second mug of tea in one day LOL.

It appeared as i woke up . The medication helps a little yes....just
not as much as i hoped. I keep seeing him about the headaches and i
don't want to stress the chappy out.....I don't think there is much
they can do now.


Oh it was a wonderful walk this week.....Im looking forward to Sundays walk .

So your body is saying things like Brrrrr its chilly . I know what
you mean about the difference but i've been looking forward to feeling
cold all summer .

I stand corrected; you did inquire, not "tag". But I fear that it is indeed
true that I can be annoying literal at times. :->


With pleasure.

The Pasture by Robert Frost

:: I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
:: I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
:: (And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
:: I shan't be gone long.---You come too.
::
:: I'm going out to fetch the little calf
:: That's standing by the mother. It's so young
:: It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
:: I shan't be gone long.---You come too.

Best wishes (and happy holidays) to you and yours, Graffnoir.
