Sunday 11 October
Another bright and breezy day today, perfect for football. I was the referee for two games again, this time out at Birch. In between the games I had time to take in the sunshine and the views. Nothing particularly spectacular but special all the same.
The shapes of trees and the colours of the sky and fields was a visual tonic. I heard a buzzard up high. But it was too bright to see it. I took a couple of deep breaths and it reminded me that I have, unwittingly, stopped meditation. I must start again, I hope I still can. Practice and regularity is what made it most effective for me. I suppose that I have to start somewhere.
After visiting Dad, I headed home and heard the other things that had happened today. Adora and Lisa had been to the gym, Stan had spent the night at his girlfriend’s house. They had taken Mabel out for a long Dedham/Stratford St. Mary walk.
Then I caught up on What’s App and saw the pictures from today’s walk of the Gentleman’s Film and Leisure Club. Four of them completed the Norfolk Coastal Path ending at Great Yarmouth. Some great images.
I want to start playing football on Monday nights again as do the others that used to play before lockdown. We are hoping that we may be able to tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed. Oh, and I am reffing two more games next Sunday. I intend to take a Sunday off over half term.
