I see a silhouette every time I close my eyes ...

So I had a cycle along the beach tonight.

Am building up to cycling to work again, it's a whole year since I did, I had that flu thing that went into my chest, and when your chest is as big as mine... an infection in it can top you off.

So anyways, I'm cycling along and I thinks to myself, I'll stop for a little while and enjoy the view, (actually get some breath back in my lungs), and as I sit, I watch this man, looking very pensive looking out to sea.

He sat for as long as I did, without moving. I wondered long and hard what he was watching and keeping him so still. I thought something must be really troubling him.

Eventually When I could breathe again, I got on my bike and took a last look at the man; took a quick shot of him with my camera, and headed back.

After spending 10 minutes recovering laying flat on my back in the garden, phoning Si and asking him to come out and pick me up, I eventually crawled into the house and uploaded my pictures, and discovered that he wasn't actually a man, but a bloody life ring.

I so need to wear my glasses.
