Extremities

McDonalds coffee and “Mighty McMuffin” for breakfast at the boatyard. Standing in the sea up to mid calf wakens you quite quickly and then an hours rowing where the wet feet and exposed hands got colder and colder kept you alert.
I enjoyed it though, it’s possible to be in a gig full of people, most chattering, and be in your own world. The rhythm of the rowing and the clunk-clunk of the oars in the pins is hypnotic like.

Home with barely enough time to say hello- cheerio to Mrs S as she headed off to her works lunch. I enjoyed a stingily hot shower followed by a coffee before settling with yesterdays paper.

The weather forecast is predicting further temperature drops with ‘yellow’ warnings of frost and ice.
I feel a trip to the log man is not too far off.
