Totally determined to get out for the first time this year
today so I headed back to Northway, Aughton. Conditions weren’t brilliant and I
realised how much I’d taken those dry summer outings for granted. Very soggy
underfoot but given that the section of the road was actually flooded just
after Christmas and it has hardly stopped raining since that wasn’t much of a
surprise. I managed to gather 2 bags of rubbish working back from the county
border toward Ormskirk. Just the start of a very good week in which I plan to
make at least 2 more collections.
I’m never bothered about appearances. I tidy up quite
well but what my hair does after it has been brushed in the morning is its own
business. Today I may have been more aware of such things after seeing Simon
Rimmer talking about how restaurants place diners like products, beautiful
people in the window etc to enhance the restaurant’s image. So, as I pulled off
my builders’ gloves and yanked the hood on my waterproof jacket on over the
woolly hat which was keeping my ears warm this afternoon I did think I should
pay more attention to style. I just had the tiny thought passersby may actually
want to avoid me. Do I more closely resemble a bag lady than a friendly,
approachable, slightly eccentric member of the community making my
contribution? Thing is I stopped wearing make up because I kept forgetting and
rubbed my eye time after time! Is there any hope even if I wanted to dress
things up? I mean I’m collecting rubbish.
