GOOD INTENTIONS
Been here for three days and it is
definitely time to get some exercise. A Brisk Walk along the
foreshore; off we go.

We are out for exercise; we will walk
briskly for an hour. Then we will turn round and walk home again,
just as briskly. We will not fiddle around looking in rock pools or
admiring views and we will not, I repeat not, stop to gather up
interesting bits and pieces along the way.
Definitely not this one, anyway.
Nor this one
But photographs are
quite OK, aren't they? It doesn't take long to take a photograph,
does it? Wheee! Bit of a list to starboard there, cap'n!
Of course, I found
a lot of things to photograph – silly rocks, for example:
And a genuine
wartime bunker . . . oh. Oh well – perhaps not, on closer
inspection.
OK - the final
result?
Time spent: two and half hours.
Distance walked: probably two
and a half kilometres.
Photos taken: forty seven. Oh – and:
I think that's a
fail on all counts.
REVISED GOOD INTENTION
It's all very well
collecting up all sorts of things and photographing them, but this is
not a holiday. I'm supposed to be taking time out to improve my
painting in a congenial environment free from the distractions of
everyday life. Having gathered all this potential subject matter I
will now do a number of careful observational studies, painting some of these
objects accurately and in meticulous detail.
A couple of days later
(sigh)
