Taking pleasure against Wind and Rain..

Many leave thoughts, opinions and expressions.
Today, I would like to write akin to a journal entry.
Here goes;

A friend came down over the weekend to visit another friend. I am very glad and happy to be in their company. We decided to go for one of the wonderful walks around the area and chose a 'moderate' one, with a distance of roughly 6 miles, taking between 2-4 hours, and with the highest altitude being around 1000ft.

Now, we were meant to take the train to the starting point to save time as it was rather far away. However, there were no trains available that day! And the bus timetable squeezed time out of us. Nevertheless, being ambitious, determined and 'casual', we dressed quickly and left.

The rain was pouring, the wind howling and turning raindrops into pellets stinging our faces as we walked against it. The reverberating sounds of tiny bullets against our rain jackets continued throughout the walk. We didn't quite end up the route we were meant to go. I did, however, thoroughly enjoyed the amiable chat, the comfortable company and the exuberant smiles in spite of soggy socks + shoes, damp clothes and shoe-sinking muddy grounds mixed with 'enriching' by-products of farm animals. HAHA. =D

We walked back by the sea and the estuary, against v.e.r.y strong winds. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 70mph! It completely dried out my jacket and trousers! As we walked by the estuary, the setting sun finally peeked through the wispy grey clouds and gave us a 'Twilight' moment (Pun intended!).

It was just too bad that I was still feeling short of good health and could not continue the great company through the night.

This would be one of those things where with the right company, I believe, one can enjoy a different perspective. It definitely gave me a memorable one.


Note: OHCM surgical chapter must be written by a woman, or at least partly!..or, a very intelligent man, because a section of it goes, "...ideally, this should be from the surgeon herself."
Utter brilliance!
HAHAHA =D *wicked*
