AFTER a bit of tidying up before breakfast I make a start on pumping up the paddleboard. It’s not so much an effort or tiring, but it is a back killer. Maybe doing it in a few sessions will help!

As it works out, I get to blown up completely before breakfast – so after eating and doing some online work I get into my wetsuit and ready to go.

Margaret and Les follow and I’m on the water when they reach the bay.

I’m only out for a short paddle – mostly with the aim of maintaining the balance/progress from last week.

When I get back to home Margaret has stopped for a coffee with Betty, I stop for a quick chat with a couple on the slipway then catch Kirsty and Laurie for a blether before they go back to the ‘States.

Les catches up and we go back to the house where I try getting out the wetsuit under the dryrobe I got for Chistmas. It’s a game-changer!

Margaret and Matty are back when I get out the shower and we have a coffee before Margaret takes Les to the station for her trip back home to Edinburgh.

I spend the rest of the afternoon working on the 2022 album production/release plan then prepare for tonight’s livestream into my Wildcats’ Facebook group. The last of 2021.

The livestream goes well then we have the last of the turkey for dinner 🙂
