Day 1864 morning in Oban!

I actually had a really good sleep in my teeny, tiny tent!

I was in bed for 9pm ish… almost felt claustrophobic with how small the tent was. That said, the majority of my things were inside the tent with me as the car is parked a 5 minute walk away.

I woke at 2.15 and the sky was so dark and the stars were so bright. It was magical.

Of course I took photos and of course none of them turned out.

I woke again at 6.30 and couldn’t move out of bed until 8.30. I’d had a lovely night and felt good.

I’d brought my kit for a run but there was no way. I’m not even feeling up to walking into Oban. I’d usually take that walk in my stride.

I sat and had a protein bagel with smashed banana for breakfast. Watching the view.

My wee home for a few nights.

It was 10am before I got ready and got moving, which is still early for a lot of people, just late for me.

I felt really funny after I took the Setraline.

The only way I can describe it, is like my head is booming… my brain is pulsing inside me head leaving me a bit off balance and spaced out. I also feel very flat. I’m in my favourite place in Scotland and I feel nothing except that I want to rest.

So I drove down the single track road from the campsite into Oban and parked for a few hours, so I could have a wander.

I’m just taking it easy.

Oban is stunning in the sunshine. There is not a cloud in the sky. I’d normally be in heaven, instead I’m observing it from the outside looking in. I don’t feel here.

To be fair, all of these are symptoms of the first week of antidepressants so I knew I might not feel great.

So the plan is to write the blog while sitting by the sea in Oban and walk back the car, drive back up the single track road and read and crochet and rest.

First of all my photos from this morning.

So I’m sitting here on the rocks.

It’s only 12pm but I need this to send while I have signal.

I’m sure there will be a million more photos later.

I’ve an hour and a half to walk back to the car then I don’t need to move once I’m back.

I’m so grateful for this amazing weather.

I can’t believe we’ve had this weather so consistently in Scotland. We are so very lucky when we get beautiful weather as we live in a stunning country.

Hope you all have a lovely sunny Saturday!

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
