Friday 26 June.
We got up after our cup of tea and a read of the paper and went out for a walk at 7 am. The route today was the reverse of what we did the other morning, around firstly to Pope Rd then up to Bird Rd and home. It was nice cool day again with the sun just appearing above the horizon. We must have walked very briskly as it was just after 7:30 am when we returned, in plenty of time to catch the quiz questions on Classical FM.
After breakfast we read the 'Telegraph' and I managed the crossword while listening to the radio. At about 10 am we decided to go out for another walk. We went right along Ibis Rd then before reaching the main road at the end cut down through the suburbs to the bridge over the Durban road to the beach. The tide was in today and there was no hard packed sand to walk on just the loose stuff at the top of the beach which makes it hard going for walking. Instead we headed along the road to the crossing over the railway line and then up the hill after the Spar, home. On the way we saw some Hadeda Ibis at the road side pecking at the grass. These are a familiar and popular bird on the coast and are named for the cries they make, 'har-dee-dar', as they fly low overhead. It was a good two hour walk and we were quite tired with this in addition to our fast walk this morning.
It was lunch time when we got in and Moira fried up some wors which we had on French bread, very nice. The afternoon was sunny and warm and we sat outside on the stoop on our camping chairs reading. I managed to finish my Reginald Hill novel, it wasn't that good. After dinner we listened to the radio until the courtroom drama 'Silk' came on the TV. I think we had seen it a few years ago but it was all right for a second viewing.
