Winter full on.

The DP is at his photographic society weekly meeting.  They are doing still life photographs.  Hmm.  Lots of lights, tripods, fruit, Christmas baubles in glass bowls, and a set of paint tubes, brushes etc have gone with him.  I was almost intrigued enough to go with him.  Almost.  Wood burner heating all the downstairs at the moment and the liquid gold (oil) switched off.  Cat snoring.  

I took this photo out of the back door this morning after the snow had stopped falling.  We rarely get snow being 3 miles  from the sea.  Sith cat was pacing around wailing - he seems to think I have super powers and can stop the snow, and rain, would that I could stop the wind.....

But then after lunch which is my usual time for a walk.  The Sun came out.  So I went.  

The sun had disappeared by the time I had arrived at the Prom car park.  But I got out of the car, coat on, waterproof and wind proof, plus trousers ditto, woolly hat and gloves and staggered to the railings.  Still pretty breezy.

I really do not know how these surfers do it.  I was frozen to the bone.  There were 2 surfers.  The North Sea - I think you have a couple of minutes, well not long, before death if you fall in.  Amazing.  As is nature.

Huge waves.  

And then a Rainbow!

Home again.  Shedudio.  

Still absorbed with Redshanks.   It's the legs!  Sketched out and now ready for the paint.

All in all a good day.  That wee stagger up the Prom, clutch onto railings, stagger a bit further good for the brain.

Honest.
