The other day, when the time came for the Sun to circle behind my roof and cut off my supply of rays for the afternoon, I got to wondering where the best public sunbathing is around here.


The trick is to find a place where the wind can't bother you whilst the sun beams down, and where folk aren't going to mind a little exposed flesh above the waist.


Later in the afternoon, I felt a small pinch of jealousy when I ambled past a fellow sun worshipper who had found just such a spot. In the lee of some trees but in the full beam of the late afternoon sun, she had found an ideal patch in one of our nearby cemeteries. Apparently ignored by passing dogs and resident spirits, she basked gloriously alone by the headstones.


Is this the place to head when the clouds clear again? It seemed far superior to the windswept Rye.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
