Pub in Well Walk, 90p, for iced water, just to sit down and write this

body works, 
          bones, 
(e.g. legs)            (e.g. skull)     movement 
muscles the leverages
                        long leg bones supporting the body
                        chains of small bones in the feet.

All this led me as I walked along Well Walk to feel perhaps for the first time a sense of being able to imagine my own bones not as that gruesome and dysfunctional object, abstracted from its muscular context (the skeleton, seen as an external thing), but to imagine my bones as, together with muscles, enabling and in fact being my dynamic presence there in the street, or now here as I write via the bones and muscles (and don't let me forget my belov'd nervous system) while supported by a chair and a table (and pen), three bodily extensions, all of which are connected by my upper skeleton which is also (I can feel it in my neck muscles) supporting the weight of my inclined head while my legs and feet merely contribute some lateral stability and also seek positions in which to rest and recover from the minor but quite tiring exertions of walking round the Heath, in the sunlight, no wind.

I pause to sip some ice cold water
