Breaking ice ....

..... well perhaps not quite but there bits of ice at the edge of the water when I went for my morning swim. Bracing would be an understatement but it was actually quite fun. 

This afternoon was taken up with crafting and Gaelic (proof reading my written assessment and practicing for my oral one). Christmas card writing beckons this evening - we have a local delivery service to raise funds for local charities but the cards need to be handed in this week.
