Icy walk

 Still a bit of ice underfoot, so we are still walking instead of cycling. 

Pirate is riding the turbo trainer as I write! I did do ten minutes yesterday to try out the latest "new" bike...I was intending to do more today, we woke up late this morning...we even missed most of our favourite radio programme on Radio Scotland, "Out of Doors" which finished at 8am!! So today has been a day of bits plus a walk....printing and baking have been put off until tomorrow!!

We did watch the women's cyclo-cross world championship on the tablet this afternoon...rather them than me....hard and soft sand, greasy tarmac, slippery mud, steps up and a ramp down and a bridge with 20% gradient....plus cold wind and rain!!

I am trying to figure out if the last-but-one photo is a frozen puddle, or water in movement. I'm thinking puddle, but the swirls are very interesting!

We slogged out for a walk, but the biting wind and the mud made it hard work. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, I think a good hearty walk is what is needed!

We've got ice here too this morning! Maybe not on the ground, but on the birdbath.

Maria yes a puddle.
Cat....just feels like a break is timewasting, there are so many interesting things to do!!

Learning to walk like a penguin is important on icy days.
