Sharp

9.3C fairly grey and cloudy, but not really dull. An odd spot or two or rain. Light WNW/NW breeze.

After lunch Fergus and I went for a walk out to the old shipyard and wandered out the shore path to Slaty Farlan and on out the new path towards the second gate. There were one or two blue patches amongst the cloud but mostly it wasn't bright.

In between she considered the value of silence and whether you can ever truly switch off the world, physically or mentally ... and whether you would want to.
