A walk without a point

Purposely parked further away to give me time to think after my shift.

I had meant to listen to something to help the shift pass faster but I couldn’t bring myself to choose any songs so ended up with silence instead.

Things noticed, in no particular order:

  • The smell of rain arriving before the rain.
  • The leaves crunching underfoot soon-to-be mush.
  • The homeless encampment has been cleaned away.
  • My car alone on the street, everyone else long since gone.

Nothing happened, really. I got home a bit later than usual. Put the kettle on. Forgot what I’d been trying to work out before I left.

A good walk but nothing achieved.
