Nacreous clouds at sunset! Far more vivid than my camera could capture, in the colours of the trans flag. Max and I watched them from the beach until they turned bright orange and dissipated..
Another trip to the Aberdour Hotel for the seasonal menu, this time with K, M and Lowenna. We went for a beach frolic afterwards and Lowenna got soaking wet and found a big stick.
Went for a winter forage and found some good things.
Did extremely loads of Co-op admin and wrangling.
Finished The Wolves of Midwinter which I've been reading in snatches at someone else's house, and stuck with it from a morbid curiosity. I am so very disappointed in Anne Rice, because I loved the Vampire Chronicles so much, but these wearwolf ones are just dire. The plot meanders, the characters are completely vapid and sickly sweet, the dialogue is frankly bizarre, and there's abuse apologia and transphobia (or, if I'm really squinting, an extremely clumsy attempt at not being transphobic that is done so badly it comes across as transphobic. I really can't tell, and can't be bothered to look up where Rice stood on that when she wrote these. Either way, it comes up about twice, is completely unincidental to the story and again, just bizarre).
K and I went for a late lunch at the Aberdour Hotel to try the recently revolutionised seasonal menu. There is now a "green" (aka vegan friendly) option for a three course meal with three options to choose for each course, thanks to Iain of Greener Kirkcaldy fame :)
After a two hour recovery from the meal, we rolled down to the beach to find someone in the sea in just a swimsuit at sunset. Brr.
A cloudy, dramatic sunrise. And then a walk home from town at sunset, under an enormous bright moon, and shades of purple in the sky that defied description.
