In the morning I used "walking the dog"
as an excuse to go down to St Katherine's Docks to look over the clippers from the round the world race. I'd watched the very last leg of the race, going down the river Thames, on Saturday, but wanted to get a better look at the boats now they were stationary.
(The "Round The World Clipper Race" is the modern version of the old tea clipper races, where tea clippers -sailing boats designed as cargo ships to carry tea back to England- would race to see who could transport their cargo in the fastest time. The prize was usually a haulage contract or a better price for their tea. Although the modern clipper is still a sailing vessel, it no longer carries tea, and is built for speed, and really just a racing yacht designed for round the world races.)
The dog was unimpressed. Although the walk to and from the docks was long he objected to me keeping stopping to look at the yacht, and was obviously thinking "Enough of this stop/start walking, let's go chase cats and urinate on things."
The afternoon was spent working
and the evening spent watching Amazon TV.
