Why I don't go to Bournemouth

Woke yesterday during the night with sharp pains down left leg. Managed to get back to sleep but knew something was wrong. Got up about 6.30 and got news report I was dreading. 2 gunshot victims in UK and first attacks on Burmese over night. Decided to go to Bournemouth and hand out a few cards. Ang rang her sister after we got the dogs fed and out for their first walk. Her sister had a few things to do and said she’d be over later. I signed 50 cards with my first name and left after with Dainty on the 11.38 after taking the dogs down to the shops for a few things. Dainty was really excited on the way to the station and was a bit pully. Got ticket from guard and stood near doors to keep Dainty safe from people feet. People were all crowding to get on the train at Bournemouth which made it difficult to get off with Dainty. Buster would have gone mad barking if I’d have brought him. He doesn’t like strangers getting too close. Rang Ang and told her I got there OK and I’d let her know when I was on my way home. Walked into Bournemouth and crossed over to the Bath Hotel with its Police guard and walked down to the Pier. There was a large Police presence but not as much as when the Conservatives were here last. Walked around a bit trying to feel were to start. Ended up passing in front of the BIC and handed a few cards out. Crossed the road and handed card to someone who wanted to give me a free smoothie. Just after Dainty barked at a pair of Police horses as we approached. She startled one and I quickly reversed direction pulling her away. Luckily the Police rider quickly got control of his horse. I wish I could have apologized but had to get Dainty away quickly. I crossed back over to the BIC side of the road and handed a few cards to people. One lady I asked if I could give her a card looked horrified. The same happened with a couple where the woman was horrified but the man took one and I thanked him. By now I was running late because of having to double back so headed for the station. Got back just after 12.45 so missed my train home. Rang Ang and told her I was on the way back and that I’d catch the first train out to get away from the pollution in Bournemouth. I was starting to get a really bad headache and feeling ill. Managed to get the next train to Poole where I waited for a while for the train home. On the train from Bournemouth I handed a card to someone from the conference who took the same train as I did. Phoned Ang again when got to Poole and had another moan about the stench of Bournemouth and how ill I felt after being there less than an hour. Said to her even Poole was bad but nothing like Bournemouth. Got train home and arrived shortly before Ang’s sister. Took dogs to the shops with Ang’s sister and Shadow to get a few things for Ang and get Buster out. Made cheese and onion omelette with chips and peas for myself and Ang’s sister. Took some aspirin early evening as couldn’t shift headache from Bournemouth and had to get an early night as felt really unwell.
Woke this morning about 6.20 after Dainty woke us in the night having a nightmare. Got dogs out and had coffee while we watched news. Ang’s sister came over and left about 8.15 to do a few things in the area and catch the 9.38 back to Guildford. Checked article on BBC to see what temperature needed to restrict blue tongue virus. Must maintain below 15 degrees. That’s easy. Don’t think you’ll be getting a cold winter though. The rains coming back soon. Escalated economic attack on Indian and Chinese today because of Burma. It will take 5 to 6 days to begin effect. Ang counted the cards left and discovered I handed 10 out yesterday. No more hits on Covenant of ARK today though.
