Life without pockets.
Oh dear, the naturists are on the roof!
Cast your mind back, if you will, to good old U.K., and an
afternoon spent mowing the lawn or pottering in the garden.
Your neighbour leans over the fence for a chinwag. That’s where
the similarity ends.
There I was on the roof terrace, attempting to secure some
laundry sufficiently that it wouldn’t give the village
something else to talk about, when the lady over the wall
caught my attention, but not with her friendly smile, as that
is all she was wearing!
I fully expected a Germanic tongue and thus would easily make
my “polite” escape, but her rich Midlands argot assailed my
ears catching me completely off guard, and with her similarly
naked husband acknowledging my presence with a cheery wave and
the raising of a glass, it took all my diplomatic effort to
beat the retreat. I really don’t mind if people want to go
nude, and it must seem that I am becoming
A) Prudish, B) Obsessed with the subject C) Both
Actually the truth is simply that I have never really
considered a life without pockets! .

More interesting was the sight of a gent floating on his back
in the old harbour. Interesting you say, hardly? But take a
closer look at the picture, what is floating at his side? Must
be his very well trained pooch.
My personal image of the week, with the most dignity, and
bravery, concerns a gent on the surf beach. He was with his
wife and young family, and all were enjoying his exploits on a
boogie board. The remarkable thing about this gent was that he
only had one leg.
No, I didn’t have the temerity to photograph him, nor did I
render assistance as he clambered out of the surf, onto his
walking aid and back to his waiting girls. I suspect he is
quite tired of well meaning, yet interfering sympathy. But he
gets my vote.
Don’t forget the sun cream…
