Before lunch I went out for an hour and took a walk to the top of Gala Law, as the sun had come out and melted all the snow.
Quite a few kilts in their very early stages of production on the lower slopes.
The Ordnance Survey post made a good spot to rest the camera on for a self portrait.
Looking east towards Rubers Law
Looking north-east towards the Minto Crags.
Still some scliffs of snow on the north facing slopes and behind trees where the ground had remained in shadow.
I returned home by the valley of the Stirches burn which was flowing fast from the sudden snow melt.
After lunch I visited Ann at the hospital and wheeled her through to their cafeteria so I could take this photo for her to say hello and to thank you all for your kind wishes.
Finally, as this is the last night of our festive lights show which has brightened up the town during those darkest days of the winter from the beginning of December till early January, and as a frost sets in under the clear sky, a view of Hawick High Street on my way home tonight.
