Journey To the Back of the Sarasota Airport.

 There is a small shopping plaza at the back of the Sarasota airport. It's  on Route 41 in Sarasota.

The plaza has a "Subway" sandwich shop which we can ignore now and for ever.  The redeeming feature of the Plaza is two of my preferred destinations:  Captain Brian's Seafood Restaurant


and Mama G's bakery


I set out for the Plaza this morning. It's about four miles from my home on busy roads.  The traffic light gods were on my side - not one red light in the entire journey.

I went there to buy fresh fish at Capt. B's Seafood Market. 

Here the  piscatorial gods were on my side. 

I was able to buy 1lb of Hake, my favourite cold water ocean fish Hake is in the same taxonomic order (Gadiformes) as cod and haddock. It's hard to find it in this neck of the woods.



Like Cod and Haddock, but with a richer flavour

There are hake fish cakes in my future, with one or two to share with friends.

Fish in hand I walked a few yards to Mama G's.

There I bought a "French Loaf" (in a German style \Bakery!)


Oh, good crusty bread!  

French Toast for breakfast  on Weds. 8th June;  or Toasted Bread slavered with butter and blackberry preserves?

I'll toss a coin.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
