Day 1087 back by the sea to write the blog!

I needed a sea fix again. I’ve had a rough few days inside my own head so it’s great to be back down by the sea in Portencross.

It’s definitely a monthly cycle thing. There really is nothing wrong…. Guess I just wanted my holiday to be longer! Anyway, it’s been a short week this week, it’s Thursday already!! Could get used to that… 😆

I’m sitting right here. I’m so lucky to be able to get to the coast any time I want really. It’s only a half hour home.

Just the smell of the sea is enough to relax the tension I’ve been carrying these last few days. I’ve been awake since 4am overthinking. Trying so hard to present in the moment. You shouldn’t really have to try as hard as I was!

The Scottish Dog Behaviourist was up at 5am…. I lay in bed desperately trying to sleep. I actually pounded my temples with my fists and one point and shouted “for gods sake you’re better than this!!”… I am by far my harshest critic.

It’s lovely to feel the warmth of the sun. It’s 5pm and I’m trying to figure out whether the tide is coming in or going out as I write this.

It’s been warmer today. I usually wear a long sleeved top under my Tartan T… I managed to sneakily wangle that off in the office today as I was getting war. Even turned the heater off. Then the heavens opened!

It’s lovely now though. Windy but there’s a warmth to the sun.

Portencross Castle in the background. Definitely must visit that this year. (May have said that last year too….)

It would be nice to stay until sunset but I think that’s a few hours off now that the clocks have gone forward.

What is it about the see that seems to wash off all the negative energy I’ve been collecting?!?

Think you can just about make out Arran in the distance. It’s quite hazy today. Visibility isn’t great…. That and I left my sunnies in the car so I can’t actually see a thing as the sun is so sparkly!

The water is so clear!

The rocks are very green after the winter tides.

I love the rock formations here. They are so west coast!

I’m back in the van now. Abbie is still a bit of a man van these days… no cuddly toys or plaques like she used to have. Buts that’s ok…. I still have my crochet blanket!

This would make a great campsite. It really has turned into a beautiful afternoon…. Jeez 5.30 already. Better get home and get some dinner. My stomach is rumbling. I fasted for 18.5 hours again overnight and into this morning. Still loving it. That’s me done 102 consecutive fasts now.

I so enjoyed my trip to the sea. It did the trick!

Stay safe everyone 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
