Woke up at around 6.30am but thankfully managed to fall asleep until my actual alarm at 8. I totally forgot I had set the alarm tone to Circle of Life so that was pleasant to hear ringing around the room so early

Managed to have a quick shower and dried my hair then went out for breakfast with my dad. Then we came home, got the dogs into the car and took our first trip to Troon beach. I can't believe I've never been before, it's so pretty! I missed being near the sea. It was beyond freezing though, as expected. My bones still feel quite achy.. especially my hands. Not the true Scottish warrior I thought I was.
(Ironically enough, the place we drove through was the birthplace of William Wallace!)
Now I'm gonna go get something to drink (the bacon I had is
really making me thirsty

) then edit a part of a story I've been writing.
