Snow on Arran, Radiant Morn, and the Beacon

4.0C with variable cloud cover. Not dull. Brighter in the afternoon. Light ESE/E breeze.

Maeve the Deerhound was up just before 6am. We went for our walk.

I took Maeve for another short walk about 9.30am, brought her home, then went out to the fish shop and the Coop. Salmon quiche from the fish shop today.

After lunch Maeve and I went for the repeat of the morning walking route across the road and round to the park and the harbour and back along through town. There were three fishing boats at the old quay and the small creel boats were in.

Once Maeve was back home and settled I went for a walk. I went round past Aquilibrium and had a wander round the old quay. A lorry had just arrived on the new quay and wood was being offloaded to be piled up to wait on a ship calling in to collect it. Then I went on round the harbour and along the little park by the ferry terminal and out Kilkerran road to Glenramskill House then I came back. It wasn't feeling so cold today. The wind had dropped to a breeze. I came back along the street side of the park and came home through town passing the town hall and the bookshop (open).
