Escape!!

 After more than a morning of sorting...a bike ride!

I took the bike in the car to Greenan Shire and rode up the NCR 7 which goes up the prom by the Clyde...saw the Blackstone Clydesdales being prepared on my way up....slowly through past Ayr as the beach was busy and along the prom at Prestwick to Mancinis....for a cherry Gelato!

Another cyclist was there having just finished his ride. We had a few local friends in common, but he wasn't a club member now just goes out with an informal group of blokes. Isn't that how many cycling clubs started?! A nice half hour chat anyway...and retrace steps in time to see the Clydesdales at canter! An awesome sight, but I wasn't quick enough to get a photo!!


Ayr Harbour
On the lang scots mile...(it is longer than the English one)
Tbe view from Prestwick to Aran 


A lovely sight...and sound!!

Frustration

 Back to square one to quote the football commentary....

after a slow (but quicker than yesterday!) start I started hunting for the kiln equipment. It is frustrating not being able to find its "safe" hiding place!!

Which has changed to sorting things to go to the secondhand/antiques emporium.

He has given me a good price for things in the past and I had mentioned to him about doing this , last week.

And in other news my daughter celebrated her 44th birthday today!

More sorting and clearing tomorrow.....

Hopefully more physical and mental space.
