By the sea

A marvellously daft but fun end to the afternoon, sitting in the car in the rain by the seaside in Broughty Ferry, sharing a jumbo sausage and chips. I've wanted to get down to the seaside for weeks, but with repeated rounds of Covid in January and February here we've kept missing the chance. Plus I am generally too ill with my neurological illness. But this afternoon when I woke late we bundled me into the car, still in pyjamas and dressing gown, and off we went. Had some top quality guilt tripping from a seagull standing on the sea wall beside us. I also enjoyed watching Eduardo Alesssandro's art gallery staff rearranging their window display of paintings while Martin fetched the chips. Good stuff. Soon back to bed, but really enjoyed that.

Oh and yes, if there was ever a more appropriate time to use the Dundee icon from [personal profile] purplecat I'm not sure what it would be.

I feel the need to point out that the original of the icon comes from Wales - though it wouldn't at all surprise me to find out that those signs had been used all over.
