my Tuesday writing
Here we are Tuesday or so. The days kind of blend together so I took a nice break yesterday and went downtown. Had coffee out where I like. Then walked the usual and unique places. Each street I’ve done before yet it always seems there’s new things to taste. Feelings to feel. The sun shined a certain way and finishing up I decided I needed a change so went to the beautiful Mona gelato shop in heritage park mall. Mona is a chain here but the newest one by far is the nicest. So I sat there with a gelato and watched the coming. Then the going. Hailed a tuktuk and went home.
Somehow the day became a blend of sci-fi audiobooks and a expat vlogger or two. I try to not watch them since the things covered seem to always be the same. This time was no different so I moved along.
evening and I write
This is really Monday night but I’ll give a taste of Tuesday when I walk in my brand new walking shoes. Had to buy a new pair because old ones started hurting my feet and legs. Good sign with this old body I need yet another change. I spend about $40 every 3 to 4 months on shoes. They get walked in every day so I think their lifecycle is shorter. The person at the shoe shop asked how long they were lasting me and if I was happy with them. I’ve bought these same shoes from a nicer shop each time I’ve felt the need.
Anyways on to coffee Tuesday. Maybe a stop for Khmer pastry.
It’s Tuesday morning and the weather has made maybe the periodic shift from rainy season to dry. Noticeable change lately in both temperatures and lack of the sustained rain showers we had gotten before. I ended up buying some new walking shoes because I realized the old ones were hurting my legs and feet. Good sign I am done with them. I will probably get a second pair in a few weeks but these now are my favorites. I figure I get about 4 months or wear with the walking shoes wearing them daily just for the walking I do. I pay about $40 each pair.
Anyways, that’s the morning things. I like leaving by 730am or 8 mornings so today will walk this certain way in our neighborhood that takes me by this pastry food street food stall and see if the woman is selling the pastries I love. She makes them fresh each day so I love stopping and getting these fluffy things she makes. I don’t know their name but she always knows what I want. They are sold all over town in the mornings but many were cooked before and are not warm and crunchy. Yeah… I am spoiled.
Another morning and a beautiful walk. This weather now in my kingdom of wonder. I can sit at Summer Coffee and write whatever in the comfort of this place. Love it here.
Also my first little walk in new walking shoes. I can tell first walk down streets and dirt roads that I picked right size. For some time one leg hurt with the old shoes. Pretty much know the signs.
So I’ll just stop this senseless meandering of words. Enjoy a coffee. Then a walk.
