Alive

Slept until half-eleven last night, got up briefly and went back to bed. Finally got up at half-six this morning after fourteen hours of sleep. I felt alive and really healthy, a bright sunny day to be optimistic and all was good with the world. I went to the market outside Watermouth Hall and bought two records and four books.

Graeme, Barry, Lindsey, Shelley and I went into Watermouth this afternoon and I collected my £10 book from Second Edition.

I love the sea. We ate rock and watched the sun set and I clutched my hefty volume in my coat pocket. Barry crunched about in the pebbles playing pranks and grinning at us like a little kid.
