Chaos is fun.

 

Dog walkers, a few students and the 2nd XV rugby team out running on the beach this morning. It's the  varsity match in Edinburgh in six weeks and some post Hogmanay  fitness training is required. A number of dogs feel the need to chase the 2nd XV as they pound along the sand. Any pretense at order disappears as dogs and youngsters become intertwined. There is much laughter and tail wagging. Owners embarrassedly try to retrieve their dogs but this only acts as a signal for other dogs to join in the fun. The ensuing chaos makes us smile. 

By the wooden bridge that leads from the shore to the car park a mobile sauna has appeared.  It can hold eight and can be booked by the hour or the day. The beach warden thinks that it will be very popular with students who will use it for 'hanky panky'. When was the last time anyone used that term ? The beach warden then mysteriously adds " Oh, to be young again ". Mobile saunas are becoming a thing here. The next village along the coast has one and planning application has been submitted for another  to be installed by the harbour.

Down to the fish shop for some Lemon Sole and dressed crab. The shop is busy and there's a queue of half a dozen waiting outside the door. Who would have thought that Thursdays were busier than Fridays ?

The year racing along. The supermarket aisles now filling up with chocolate Easter Eggs and animals.

Ralph the Cavapoo and Dougal the Puppy look as if they'll be big sellers.

From the supermarket car park more contrails in the sky - a sign that the Russians are still out there beyond the horizon although there seem to be fewer fighter jets up this morning.
