Calm, Cyanotype

13C with some bright spells in the morning then thin cloud. WSW wind to 23 mph with gusts to 34 mph moderating to a moderate SW breeze.

Fergus and I went for our walk after lunch. We went round to the harbour then carried on along the park and Kilkerran road to Glenramskill House. The world out on the loch looked very calm and almost serene.

We came back the same way then along the street side of the park and came home through town passing the town hall and the bookshop (open).

On the Clip while walking:
Podcast of BBC radio 4's Word of Mouth, with the excellent Michael Rosen in the chair.
Give 'em an inch... imperial and metric
Michael Rosen and Laura Wright talk to maths writer Rob Eastaway about imperial and metric measurements. How and why do they co-exist in the United Kingdom? Why are teenagers still talking in feet and inches when at school they are taught in centimetres? And where do the words 'gallon', 'tonne' 'acre' and "yard" come from?

The BBC Radio 4 Bookclub podcast hosted by James Naughtie.
In a special rebroadcast edition of the programme, James Naughtie and a group of readers talked to author Douglas Adams (the year before he died) about his classic world-wide bestseller The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
