Diary – Bank Holiday Monday 29th August 2016 A national holiday marking the transition from Summer to Autumn, and strangely the hottest day of the year so far. I spent much of the day indoors sorting out books for my new book cases, which went up just yesterday. In the late afternoon I decided to go out taking photos and visiting a few pubs. I walked along the gorgeous waterfront area near the River Ribble that flows through Preston. With a marina, lifeboats and even a mock-lighthouse, it felt like I was on a coastal promenade. I visited a few bars on the waterfront and considered seeing a movie at the cinema but no films worth seeing were due to start for hours so I settled on the pubs instead. Diary – Tuesday 30th August 2016 The warm weather continued and after essential job searching, I headed out to do some vital errands, mixed with more casual tourism. My computer mouse was acting up so I bought a new one. I also needed a new toothbrush as my old one is rather worn down, so these purchases dominated the important stuff. I spotted a few streets I knew had pubs down them and headed down them. I realized that continuing the route would return me to the waterfront I was on yesterday so I explored more of that too. I took photos of a marina where people can use pleasure craft on the river. I realized I was standing on a swing bridge, but no vessels were approaching it so it wouldn’t be raised while I was on it. Back home – I so now think of my flat as home, I caught up on my writing and listened to some music. Arthur Chappell
