This morning,(actually a few days ago - you may have already read this on my other blog) I went down the seashore for only the second time since arriving. Of course it was much warmer than it's been - and I suddenly felt good about myself and where I'm living.
I was down on the beach looking for a fishmonger's a friend had told me about. And lo & behold, under one of the arches below the promenade, I found a small, rotund fisherman, complete with nearby fishing boat. He only sells locally caught fish, and I bought a plaice, which he filleted, for £2.
It was still early. I walked back through side streets to Bill's, where I had breakfast and too much black coffee.
At a table near me, a woman stood upt to go - and spilled a whole lot of stuff, including a sugar bowl, on the floor. It made a extraordinary amount of noise. A waitress rushed over, produced a pistol and shot the unfortunate customer. There was remarkably little blood to see before she collapsed.
I wouldn't have thought it was legal to shoot someone on so litlle provocation. Anyway, obviously the staff were used to incidents like this, because two uniformed flunkies rushed over with a body bag and quickly disposed of the corpse....
Yes, I am so sick of naturalism!
