This morning....at 7.30, a beautiful sky...makes you glad to get up and get on with it...but by the time I was waiting for the bus and hour later the colour had faded.
It was a brisk chilly day, but the sun was nice and bright.
Two buses...a lucky change in Ayr so no waiting 20 minutes in a draughty cold bus station!...and I was in Prestwick after an hour. Visa sorted, messaging done ( the WiFi on the bus hadn't worked) and I met with a friend for coffee and catch-up. I brought her a couple of chard plants and garlic to plant now.
Great to relax and chat. She had driven over from her town five miles further on as there is no café with safe bike parking, sadly....and going out later would be safer..no icy corners...
Before I headed back I browsed the op shops...there are decent ones there! And found a potato ricer....I can use that with clay.....
A couple of bars in Prestwick..
Twenty minutes until the bus, so today's exercise was walking a mile or more to my usual supermarket for a few things..then the bus from there to town and another back here.
Straight to the garage...the non functional handbrake is not because of the cable, but because what the cable tries to work had seized....he has ordered the parts...and made it so that it will work enough...and hopefully the parts will be here in a week's time... meanwhile I'll only use it in an emergency.
No big deal.
Back to finish mincing and pressing the pears...and now the mixed pear and apple has been filtered again through four layers of tea towel and is sitting settling more fine particles overnight at least.
And by 4pm we had fog....even the Arran ferry was cancelled...

A good day. A wonderful sky to greet you and a successful trip out.
Shame about the fog at the end!
...weather happens whether we like it or not.
It is fascinating to observe and learn about how and why
It was a good day
A very busy and productive day. You pack so much into your days
I’d definitely be resting after all that
Another good, productive day.
We had snow this morning, just brief flurries. You do keep yourself quite busy. I admire that about you.
I would live somewhere with public transport again.
Yes. We were a mile away in the last village which we managed...but you need at least one of you in good health....
It's so nice to have time to just sit and chat with a friend. Your pear/apple thing sounds intriguing to me! (And lots of work and time to it, too!)
Bus travel is quite good and seems to take you anywhere you choose. That's convenient.
Good report on the bike repair.
Quite a variable day, weather-wise!
You did get alot done and it's nice catching up with friends.
Just pressing the juice then processing the bottles, like you would with canning
