Grief is a slippery beast. I've explored that in my novel* Don't worry that's not a spoiler, it's not out in the world. Yet? And it's not entirely doom and gloom, there are jokes. At least two. It can jump out at you from nowhere, grief, not my novel. Or even hide. And reaction to…Read more February strikes again

Contemplating weighty matters on my daily walk
Joking! It was more a free form meander. My walk on the other hand followed a path I've taken before. I started off by wondering how my sister was, she slipped on ice yesterday and fractured her wrist. And that started me picturing the road where she'd slipped. And thinking, when was I there last?…Read more Contemplating weighty matters on my daily walk
Going back to Crinan
Well not exactly to Crinan this time, but another walk along the canal. Today we parked a mile or so from Crinan village at the Bellanoch bridge, and headed east from there. the River Add looking west towards Crinan and the sea I was surprised to see this lovely creature sunning itself on a rock*…Read more Going back to Crinan
Happy coincidences*
On my walk today I was planning what to write. I'd been thinking about "rainbows" as a theme. Then I turned my head and saw this Actually that's a zoomed up view. What I really saw was this I was a bit worried that I'd written a rainbow post before, but I was remembering this…Read more Happy coincidences*
A walk along the Crinan canal
It's not raining! Well it wasn't last time I checked. It's dark outside now so I can't see but I can't hear any rain. But more importantly it didn't rain during the hours of daylight. So we had A DAY OUT! To be fair it's not been all that long since the last one, the…Read more A walk along the Crinan canal
When things go to plan..
I am writing these posts daily but I also have to do a certain amount of forward planning. After all there's not all that much happening at the moment. We are having the occasional day trip, and there was our visit to Edinburgh, but not lots of variety. Baking posts are quite popular, and I…Read more When things go to plan..
Being safe and warm
Today is wild and windy. Outside there are waves whipping up the sea. They might not be as big as the ones in the featured image, but that photo was taken on the more exposed west coast. If we have waves here then it's a really stormy day. And today is Armistice Day, in the…Read more Being safe and warm
A good day out
And yesterday we managed one. It had all the best features Beautiful scenery A picnic We had more than just grapes, but these were particularly delicious grapes* And a happy dog there are few things DogS likes better than running after balls on a beach And historic sites this bridge isn't a major historic monument…Read more A good day out
Walking (2)
Why the "2" Well I've posted on this subject before. Twice if you count the one about walking with DogS. But it's something I do a lot of, and can do at the moment. Yesterday's story was inspired by and thought up on one of my daily walks. Though the people just live in my head.…Read more Walking (2)
San Sebastian/Donostia
It wasn't the first, nor the longest stop on our holiday but it just might have been our favourite. I didn't know a lot about it when I chose it as a stop off, and it doesn't have masses of "must see" sights*, it's simply a lovely place to be. It was quite astoundingly…Read more San Sebastian/Donostia
