Decided to take a later train, as it's a bank holiday and everything is closed anyway. Checked on the bridge, can see the different colour on the closest arch which I believe is the only one still standing from the original reconstruction. The middles arches are lighter and fresher.
Wondering about the tides - is the river actual tidal, or does it swell and ebb with the melting snow? Was guessing the moon had an effect, but the water is high up on the beach now and it's still only a fairly new moon. Soon spring will come and then the waters rise even higher. But for now, I am here for only one season, watching the winter pass. Spring will come without me.

Thinking about the importance of dreams, for this piece in the local newspaper. It doesn't matter what your circumstances or situation, if you can imagine something else then you can change them. But once you lose your dreams, you are lost. This life doesn't just happen to me, you know. It takes a lot of work, courage and dreaming to keep on spinning more golden threads into the air.
