An incredibly braw morning, with the sea soft and shimmering. The cold temperatures and clear skies are giving the luminous effect I usually associate with November.

I awoke from dreams of wanting to be in the sea but not being able to.

Fortunately, once awake after my sunrise coffee, I had no impediments, and got straight into my wetsuit for a refreshing swim/float before breakfast.

The sun rises over a gentle blue sea. The orange horizon sets a dramatic backdrop against grey clouds, but they are on their way out and the sky overhead is clear and blue.

Week in review: 20th - 26th February

Second February swim. High tides.
Did my best to facilitate around some difficult interpersonal dynamics in the Co-op.
Made pear cobbler and fancy truffles at Community Kitchen.
Visited J&F&E&E in Falkirk and worked on the crochet sea turtle but didn't finish it.
Enjoying Lilith's Brood, though some of the things the humans do are far more alien to me than the things the Oankali do. But also many aspects from the stories are working their way into my dreams quite severely.
Hung out with Maud and Jess and K.
Visited Dave in Dunoon. We climbed Bishop's Seat, visited Loch Eck and ate lots. Completely failed to see the northern lights despite being in a northern location with perfectly clear skies and low light pollution... because I went to bed early.
