Blue sky, gentle swell on the ocean, no plans. Time to relax.
I began the day with a pleasant stroll down to the Hove lagoon where I joined an old lady in feeding the swans. Beautiful great big white ones. Like mini polar bears with wings. They were seriously huge. Their giant black feet resembled those of a clydesdale. After off loading of a couple of loaves of bread down their cavernous mouths, I made my goodbyes and made a move down to a nearby skate park. Here some guys were filming a couple of bmx stunt bikers and skateboarders who kept me entertained for the next hour or so pulling tricks, sliding rails, jumping mountains and pretty much just having a good time and a good laugh.
I then pushed off again down the promenade, intending on reaching the infamous Brighton Pier. But it began raining and so after grabbing a quick lunch at the super, I read for a bit by the ocean (it had calmed a little) and then went home for tea. Nice day. But an even better day was just around the corner...
