Wonderful weather again - but so nice as to deter me from any long daytime journey, it being so hot.

Went to Clacton for an evening stroll. I'd forgotten how beautiful the seaside can be in the dusk, full of reminders of childhood holiday evenings, and also seeming to show how huge the world really is. When I turned back to the land after taking in the immense sea and sky, the houses on the straight seafront seemed like tiny parts of an intricate computer simulation stretching away into the distance.
