I had a parcel to post (fleabay) and a special shop to go to in Troon.....
Bus to town, post parcel, buy sandwich, cookies and water...bus to Prestwick Airport....and start walking.....
Along by the railway line which links Glasgow to Stranraer, via Ayr and Girvan, with golf courses both sides....and to the road into Troon...
I buy my multivitamins and minerals in one, tablets here...ones that I can swallow without gagging!!
With luck, the shop is almost opposite the bus stop...and in five minutes, the hourly bus is there to return to Ayr....
I eat my sandwich on the bus....I was not going to risk having it taken by a gull!
Time for a cuppa in the best bookshop in Ayr, then home for a rest, then a little garden tidying in the sunshine.
Thinking of flooding in all parts of the globe....Japan, Europe, USA, Asia...and now New Zealand...

...keep putting one foot in front of the other!
The sounds of the birds are very different to our sounds. There was one that stood out. I wonder what kind of bird it was ?
You are so good about walking. I need to try and start soon although my views are not as beautiful as yours
You take such interesting walks!
That brightish green of the lichen is my favorite color!
Another busy day. Yes, Dunedin sounds bad.
A good long walk with a free aerial display thrown in.
You see so much more when you walk. Smashing photos.
Yes Dunedin has been hit by rain lately but I think now the state of emergency has been lifted.
A well planned circuit there. Sorry to hear of flooding in so many places. I had not been aware of them. Kind of becoming myopic, and when talking about the weather with my cousin, here in SC, I said we're getting a cold front tonight...but he said, Huh? and I realized I was still talking about Black Mountain NC. I'm not all Here sometimes.
This is not intended to be a pun, but I guess it could work that way. There really is nothing so grounding as a good walk. As you go along, you cannot help but be fully aware of the moment, of where you are, of the world that surrounds you.
Here in the US we call them "touch and goes", an unpleasant but efficient way to teach a student the procedures used for takeoff and landing. I used them with my students all the way from primary to large turbine aircraft. Gets a lot of practice done in a short period of time.
Jim there are a lot of companies using Prestwick for training...it is apparently cheaper than others and has less normal passenger traffic..only Ryanair I think...and I don't know if anyone other than Cargolux and Air France are doing freight here now.
It has a better runway than Glasgow..it handles the Antonov planes...and is closed by weather conditions far less frequently than Glasgow or Edinburgh. However the cross runway isn't as long,..
I think politics plays a big part in everything..as ever!
Yes...and not so dangerous as going by road!!
You are right,.I need grounding... I am floundering a little
