And today, I did very little…

today, I did very little. At my age, I am very happy to have a leisurely late breakfast, wander around and window shop, slowly swim around off my dock and read. So, that’s what I did today.

I also found several streets around Greenbank’s that are suitable for walking. Bermuda is not at all walkable. The roads are very narrow and sidewalks are nonexistent. In fairness, Hamilton, has sidewalks. But outside of downtown – no sidewalks.

And, I continue testing scones.

This is EXACTLY what I want to be doing… But, I feel guilty. I feel like I should be out doing stuff and seeing things.

Reinsurance is also a big business here. The news paper reported that coal was becoming increasingly risky to insure. One entire page of today’s paper is devoted to reinsurance. As I mentioned, Bermuda is a very wealthy place.

And rich people have kids. There are no franchise food operations in Bermuda. So, it’s not too surprising that a couple of young teenage girls were having breakfast next to me. And these kids were discussing the relative merits of London vs Paris for ones back to school clothes shopping. BTW breakfast was great. I had an omelet and coffee and the girls had Belgium waffles and hot chocolate.

There were a lot of these odd gates back in the seventies. Nowadays they seem to be like me _ a relic hanging on for dear life.

And …

Sunset with”my” ferry.
