So it's starting to get late on a Sunday, and - instead of sitting around the house, or vegging out and playing computer games quite yet - I decided the weather was far too nice to pass up and have gone up to Peebles Island to sit at a table and do just a little bit of writing. Not much - after all, soon it'll be sundown, and the park will close - but just a little bit of peace and quiet by the waterfront sounds like an excellent plan to me. The temperature isn't perfect, I'll admit. In fact, it's a bit chilly even for me. Still, that being said, I can't imagine any other way that being at home would be superior right now. The sun is shining, the sky is clear, the birds are calling, and the little things that people do as their days wind down are going on around me. A couple of people are fishing here at the park, and I can see a couple more on the boat-ramp across the river to the east. Two lovers are cuddling at a picnic table near the pavillion, and I passed three pairs walking dogs on my way in (I say "pairs", because at least one pair appeared to be mother and daughter).
Funnily enough, there are seven wireless networks in range of me now, and I'm truly impressed. Two from the Troy Boatyard across the river (I have no idea why they're separate, but there you go); one from a visitor's center, and I have no clue where that is; and several more with unfathomable names. Technology is occasionaly surprising.
Soon, I'll head home. I'll put gas in the car, think about dinner, and decide what I'm doing for the rest of the evening. Hope I find Samantha online, log in to work to see if I can get a couple of things done, play y games for a little while. But for now, I'm out here, I'm at peace for a little while, and I have no worries for just a little bit of my day.
Yeah I guess in the end of it, I had nothing really interesting to say. But a nice interlude-, it definitely is.
