time off

as i wasn't meeting anyone this afternoon, i decided to take a train up to my grandmother's place. i hadn't had time to take a walk in the surrounding wood when we emptied her flat 2 years ago, and i really needed to get out of the city. and it was great. a lot shorter than i remembered from my childhood days, though. what seemed like a good hour as a 13-year old turned out to be about 15 minutes! it was a lot longer to walk to the wood... after that, i went to the beach. or what was left of it. it was high tide, so the beach was about 10 centimetres wide. so i sat on a stone while waiting for the bus that would take me for a ride along the coast. unfortunately, they stopped the buses that ran all the way back down into the city long ago, so i only got as far as the next little town, where i had to take the train back.
