It was decidedly grey when I got up. Rain was forecast, but not until the afternoon. ~I strolled around to Zoe's and escorted Ellie to school, with Zoe. She has a partial day off but has to work in the Horsham store overnight to help with their stock take.
Diane's Pilates had been cancelled. The organizer had come down with COVID-19, so the girls had the morning off. Arun Amblers had football arranged, but I had not put my name on the list. I am a bit fed up with the politics, inconsistency, and occasional hypocrisy regarding the interpretation of the rules. I decided I could get as much (or more) exercise by walking along the promenade. Diane debated whether to join me, but decided she wanted to process the pile of ironing instead.
I pottered off and left the car at West Park. I then walked through Marine Park Gardens to the promenade.
I headed east along the promenade (which was deserted). There was a weak and watery sun, but it was bright enough for me to wear my sunglasses.
As I approached the pier, I dropped down onto the beach. The tide was on its way out and there was a large expanse of damp sand just begging for my footprints.
I ducked down under the pier and grabbed this view against the wishy-washy sky.
My walk along the beach continued until a stretch where the tide had not yet receded far enough for me to continue. I climbed the shingle bank to the promenade and continued up to where the walkway is blocked at the mouth of the Rife.
I turned around and headed back. By the time I arrived at the car, I had been walking for nearly an hour and completed nearly 6km.
The early afternoon was spent with our Kindles. Zoe collected Ellie from school and dropped her off with us before heading for Horsham. Ellie will be staying with us overnight. Since getting in from school she has done a lot of maths practice and completed a project about the Arctic.
