12.9

 New shoes were bought yesterday, especially for walking with. Try two shops, and the one had a young man trying to sell the shoes by brand and price alone, the second had a slightly older woman who sold shoes by suitability and fit.

A pair of shoes were bought in the second shop.


Today the weather was wet and nasty in the morning, so the nice new shoes stayed at home and the older ones were taken out again. 


Behind the second viewpoint, the path was coated in slippery mud, especially the less formal one which was really just a shortcut through a field of maize. Suddenly, a slippage, and the discovery that the grass and the mud were just too wet to lie down in today. In the mud those cheap old trainers had simply slipped, and in no time at all caused the mishap. 

In passing, took an apple from a tree in somebodys orchard that had fruit hanging over the path. The apple had a worm in it, and was bitter inside.

Finally, the cup of coffee at the italians. Halfway through the cup it started to rain.


Go home and take a rest. Twelve point nine kilometres are enough for today.
