section 37 and I feel very rushed today. I am alone as Chloe is at a leavers morning at school and I will join her later with a picnic lunch. This is another COVID thing, she wouldn’t normally be doing this. It shows how our world is still dominated by Covid. After her leavers thing we will be driving to a hotel for a friend’s wedding so I feel rushed. Tomorrow is also so called freedom day, despite case numbers rising exponentially we apparently won’t have to do anything that we have got used to over the last 18 months. I wonder how this will affect the park, if it does at all. Today there is a family on the tennis court, but they leave so I can go on and take a few pictures, just in time before another family comes on.
The park is steady, not really busy, with a few dog walkers, including one in my section. The day is going to be hot, you can tell even though it is quite pleasant now and pretty much most of this section is in shade as there are 5 trees. I am still near the entrance so quite a few people walk by me and think I’m strange, I’m sure, but I don’t really care. I see friends of mine and we stop and chat and I see Dave the bulb man. The roads and the world carries on round the park but this is a little section of peace, where the pace just slows momentarily.
Today I saw: 5 trees, 1 dog and walker, grass, path, wall, lots of undergrowth and nettles, tennis court tarmac, cage, 1 caught branch, 1 tree stump, 1 hole, 26 pieces of litter, 5 feathers, tennis net, tennis bag, 2 water bottles, 8 tennis players (2 households).
