The Waves were Barely Noticeable

7.1C bright and sunny. Light Westerly breeze.

It was such a nice day again that I had another notion to continue the garage clear out. I took two more loads to the recycle centre and some went in the dump (giant skip). Maeve the Deerhound had to stay at home again, but I don't think she knew I had gone. It was too wet on the grass for her to be lying about in the garden so I had left her asleep in the office. The garage looks massive inside now.

Maeve and I went for a walk after lunch. I forgot the Nano. We went up to the church, and as we were going up the road to the church I could see a tractor ploughing in the lower part of the field that has been flooding. We continued out along the country road to Scryne. We turned right at Craigmill farm and went down the track to the shore road. No sign of the farmer today. The track was muddy at the top but better after the field entrances.

We walked along the cycle path towards Westhaven. I looked up the field hoping to catch the tractor ploughing in a photo or two. It wasn't moving.  We walked up the road to the shore road and I thought the tractor was looking rather low in the ground. As we got closer another tractor came down the road and turned into the field. It dawned on me that the first tractor had become bogged down and the second had come to pull it out. The extracation is about to get under way in my extra.

We went back down the road and along the shore road then went over the road bridge over the railway and down to the beach at Westhaven. The tide was almost fully in, the sea was blue, and the waves were barely noticeable. The channel marker posts were half submerged. If it had been warmer Maeve might have gone in for a paddle. We crossed back over the road bridge and carried on round in a loop heading into Carnoustie and up the main road before turning along for home.

Later I thought about the boxes of books in the loft. The thinking was quite enough for today.
