As a consequence of my newly minted "early to bed, early to rise" philosophy, I was awake and chirpy by about 5.15 this morning. So, I figured in my early morning zeal and vigour for life that I would go for a walk. I did not bother to look out the window, it was on with the clothes and out the door.
Perhaps a quick look-see would have revealed an alternate plan.
The road home appears to be a foggy one, at least really early in the morning!
Not to be defeated in my mission I ploughed ahead and walked the streets of Cootamundra. There is a great little early opener called "the Outback Cafe". It serves good, and fresh, hot bread. There were plenty of cakes too, but I figured that would defeat the purpose of exercising. That said, it was a tempting thought to just buy some cakes and eat them while I walked.
It was foggy and cool, but surprisingly there were lots of people out and about.
On my wandering ways I passed a little clothes shop, one of several in bustling Cootamundra. It was not the quality of the clothes that caught my eye, but this t-shirt certainly did.
I guess Cootamundra is not as "small town" as I thought it might be :D

Hi Rob,
Small towns have their advantages compared to big cities: peace and quiet, therefore enable us to think more clearly.
I think cake is a very good reason for walking. Not to mention pies, donuts, turnovers, fritters, danishs, croissants and bearclaws. Rnjoy that pastoral life!
@ Harry...
Yep, they do! The peace and quiet is nice. The genuine friendliness to the greetings from strangers is also a pleasant change.
I don't know on the thinking more clearly front. I tend to think that I think pretty clearly most, if not all, of the time.
I am certainly enjoying the change of pace.
@ PJ...
Yeah, not all that hard to find an excuse really.
So far, so good on the enjoyment front.
