Just now

I went out for a stroll down to the supermarket. Now I wish I hadn't. The place was teeming with the elderly, the infirm, the morbidly obese and the aimless, all plodding or drifting down the aisles like a bank of fog. I had a job even getting into the place. I had to pick my way round the convoy of trolleys and mobility devices that was blocking the entrance. All very depressing, and exactly what I need. I did plan to sit outside and enjoy the morning, but I got the hump and changed my mind. So here I am again, back at the library.
