I woke with the birds and walked to Mertasari Beach as the sun broke the horizon. Rain overnight created a beautiful effect in the compound alley, mossy green and rust reflections covered in a sweet musty scent.
After completing the exercise circuit in the beach parking lot I walked further than usual, wandering to the beach road near Hardy's. I was hoping to meet the artist I played chess with in 2012, but I could not locate his gallery shop.
I stepped into Hardy's and bought a few things, then walked home and made a pasta brunch.
My arm rash is beginning to clear, I am sleeping soundly through the night.
