Why is it that you can walk and walk for days, and then for no apparent reason a blister pops up? I have, as my reader knows, been walking for six miles a day, and after the pains of the first few days, I seemed to get into a rhythm, and the pain subsided. So imagine my surprise when a new blister popped up for no reason today. I have a day off from the walk tomorrow, which is perhaps for the best. I spent a satisfying day doing some tidying, and getting up to date with housework. I like the feeling that a good tidy up can give you, though I feel envious of the poor souls who keep a tidy and spotless house....they will never know the joy that I felt today.
I spent some of the day watching the riots in Egypt. The beauty of twitter is that I was able to look at a few different streams, and see some different perspectives, but it just seemed so unreal. My old schoolfriend has flown out to Cairo today as he works for the BBC News department. I hope he stays safe. I read that he had arrived there just a matter of minutes after reading that some CNN reporters had been attacked. It must be a hell of a job. I am glad that our media have chosen to give such coverage to the Egyptian situation, as there seems to be a lack of coverage to things happening in other countries.
