sea air and solitude

I felt a bit tired and out of sorts today. An hour or two on the beach was what I needed. It was a very low tide with a thick sea mist, and I spent ages watching the waves, watching the tide turn, thinking about not very much at all. I went home feeling restored but then found I had somehow wrecked a tyre, it was completely flat.
Then found that the water pump for the house had sprung a leak and flooded the garage.
One of those kind of days.
