I awoke from slumber ,did a side roll, and managed to fall of the cot . A bad start to great a new day- should have been put off ,but i strangely wasnt . I got up laughing at my stupidity .Lethargy waned and a new zest for life overcame me . The chirping of birds , the dull drone of the clock -why,even the loud cackling pf the neighbours geese -were welcome sounds .I awoke to an atmosphere redolent of the sea ,to that same intense sound that had lulled me to sleep last night . alive and kicking ,I paced about a bit and then set off on my morning stroll . i walked along the shore ,the untamed waves lashing at me with ferocity only they are known to possess .having covered a reasonably long stretch , i found my perch on a high mound and looked ahead at the vast , seemingly endless sea .

I hurried past an insignificant looking man . I slapped myself on the head, turned around and shot him one of my kindest glances. He wasnt looking. He had already walked quite some distance .
