Deadly exciting stuff today – walked across town to go a Tesco, instead of the usual Sommerfield or Lidl. In the rain. It’s already late-autumn feeling here…remembering wine festivals and rinkydink carnivals and October weekend trips to Ocean City just before all the shops closed for the season. The weather suits the mottled basalt buildings.


We got coffee in the supermarket Costa, where we went back in May when we first visited and stayed down the road, killing mild hangovers with caffeine and setting up appointments to see flats.

I love the thousand-yard stare on the woman in the background. It's this century's absinth drinkers...the lower-middle-class lattee sippers.
