Getting back to normal.. slowly..

 The antibiotics have really knocked me back this time...but at least hopefully they have done their job.

Sorting paperwork probably hasn't helped...it's that empty feeling...should be Pirate sitting in the other chair...

Up late....nap before lunch....but then I did start to regain energy.

I went to our usual foraging place, a field hedge by Greenan Castle ...with a good view of Arran.

Elderberries to go with the brambles and spices to make a winter cordial.

Clear morning

 

Look between the houses and in the distance you can see the Clyde. Then on the right in the distance you can see the steam from the paper factory near Irvine.

That photo was taken with my tablet..the other one I took with the phone..

Near enough, but interesting.

 

The phone is different as it has three different lenses I think it is, and of course a more up to date brain! I like looking at them on the larger tablet though, easier to spot details.

We went to Glasgow yesterday for Pirate's hour on the Velodrome and the roads and fields were snow free until we reached the point where we leave the A77 by Ayr. 

Then the footpath had snow and the roads clear until where the bus route leaves our road, 100 metres from our door. Dry powdery snow. No more fell overnight but it is cold.

Up on the Downs

looking towards Wye

Looking down over Brabourne 

 Breathtaking!!

A long day

 A view of the Clyde...the one time of the day that you can properly pick out where it is!

A beautiful sunset after a long day..wood buying, head scratching, trying to make an extension that is square. And finding that the building that you are adding it to is not!!

I think that we have cracked the problems....and tomorrow after some calculations, we get even more wood!!

back drawing again

Just the view from our bedroom window..Shedopolis!!

view from a hill

On our way back to the Carpenter's home from their allotment.

Cat

Teigar, in her favourite place
The cat equivalent of a greenhouse!

Looking at this angle you miss the back yard, the main road, the factory....and you see the mountain over the other side and the sky.
