The good, the cold and the quite ridiculous.

Life in Findhorn is good.  I walk to & from work, in the TFL office, every day.  It’s cold but that’s good.  I walk alongside the bay, from the village to the park.  There is a telescope on the way, and on Friday morning I take a bit of time out to watch three pairs of Widgeons on the bay.

The web site work is going ok.  Check it out. Please bear in mind that I didn’t design the new site.  I, along with Sky, from the foundation IT team, just helped moved it from the old design to the new.  A lot of content on the site relates to tree dedications bought through the site.  The office is always upbeat, and it’s great to be involved in a project that has a positive impact on so many people’s lives.

Today, Saturday, I get up at 9am.  I feel good about the day ahead.  I go for a walk along the bay.  Although it’s overcast, the air is clear and there is snow on the hills.  The tide is high, but there are a few birds in the bay.  Mallard, Widgeon, Redshank and Curlew.

On the way back to the house I pop into the Findhorn shop to pick up some cake, crisps and Hobnobs.  I then break open some beer and watch the Wales Scotland match.  The match is crazy, with Wales relying on a big come back again (their last one, against England, was disappointingly too little too late).  I’m determined not to get wound up, but by the end of the game I’m exhausted.  Wales have somehow won, even though they were second best for the majority of the match.  However, it’s a while before I’m able to stop smiling, and this doesn’t seem to go down well with my Scottish housemate.
