Quite a full day on the bookends, and an odd one in between. Got up at dawn and brought the camera on my walk and made a few photos. In the afternoon the electricity went out and the good thing about that is it forced me out in the late afternoon due to no circulation in the apartment and I wandered to Mertasari Beach to take in the sunset. By the time I got back the electricity was still out and I decided instead of laying in bed sweltering I would head out and buy take out Chinese food, by the time I got back it was raining and I sat down with my food on the porch eating. My neighbor soon appeared and I asked her to text the owner of the apartment but my neighbor apparently was aware of my problem and she was able to restore the electricity by manually resetting the switch box which is located outside my kitchen window. It was a relief to get the air con back on and the fridge leaked water but all I have in there is juice and water so no big losses. I was happy that I had brought along for this trip a headlamp which I use for night running, I figured there was a chance at some point on this journey that I would be caught without electricity.
And now as I write this it is quite late, almost 1:00am, and I am tempted to head out for a night run with the headlamp - such a memorable thing to do, the solitude of the darkness, my body working hard, in rhythm with the back and forth of the sea. Will I do it?
