What a lovely evening.
A gentle plod along the seafront, chatting easily with SP. The Great Plodder hadn't been out for a few weeks and, despite his early apprehension, you'd never have known it. Whispy white trails scampered over the horizon, chased by the shepherding setting sun. A cool breeze brought salt and ocean aromas across the promenade as we loped Westward. Shearers were offered and returned with a few fellow joggers, grins exchanged in silent acknowledgement of this perfect end to the day.

We'd agreed on 3 miles, but frankly we both felt it could have been 13, so easy was the pace and fresh the feeling in the legs. And we would have, too, but for the call of the local hostilry and the promise of Chelsea v Bayern Munich. Our reward, as if one were required; a couple of very decent pints of Guinness and a Chelsea goal after 4 minutes.

Thanks SP, that was just what the Doctor ordered.
Life is good.
