Yesterday was a wonderful day here: sunny and about 28. I went for a long bike ride down to the beach, along the beach for a while, then stopped at a cafe and had a glass of wine and a snack sitting outdoors, watching young children playing in a fountain. It was great. I will include some pictures of the day, so you can see what it was like (sort of). And, unlike the previous attempt, I did not get a flat tire and have to get a ride back.
In fact, I rode back a different route, through the city suburbs, and into town. Got kind of lost at the end, but found my way with the help of another bicyclist. I felt quite self-righteous afterwards.
Of course, I did not get out of the house until almost noon. The mornings just go, with checking email, surfing the web, puttering around, etc. Is this how the retirement is going to go?
(Interestingly, I have received two offers of locums from my former group already. One I turned down, and the other I might do.)
Anyway, as the title of the post says, it rained today. Pretty hard, for all of about twenty seconds. After another two minutes, you couldn't know that there had been rain. That seems to be how it is here. Dry, dry, dry. And today it is "only" nineteen degrees. The locals are all bundled up, and I'm in shorts and short sleeves. Seems strange.
So, since this is a trial, I'll stop until it is clear that it is working.
