I've never had such a good Monday as this Monday just gone. I went to see India at work in her shop, and then went for a mammoth walk to fill out the time until she finished. I'm surprised I still have legs left. I went from Fistral, through the headland, through the harbour, across the beaches to Great Western and up to Aldi for some pancakes and grape juice. And then I did that circuit three times.
Here are the best bits of the most contented, happy day I've had in months:
1. Seeing India for some lovely chats and laughter
2. The sun on my neck and shoulders- for the first time since the tan lines of summer 2008. (They were made even worse by outdoor exam revision this year)
3. Being on my own, and it feeling really peaceful.
4. Aldi cementing its place as my number one, absolute favourite shop of Newquay. Bargain prices. I just wish they'd let me work there.
5. The happiness of knowing that in just over a week I'd have the freedom of walking like this everyday if I wanted to.
6. Walking with my feet in the sea.
7. A lovely meal with my best friend's family.
Next Monday is (hopefully) moving day. I'm also seeing a good friend from sixth form before she goes off to Plymouth Uni, coffee and a catch-up. So another exciting and activity-filled Monday awaits!
