Paradise .....
7th
September 2016 (Wednesday)....
13.30 Most of you will know that I am
surrounded by gorgeous scenery where I live;
today has seen the auld place at
‘her’ best. I have been out with the camera since 08.30,
and honestly, today has been stunning, almost overwhelmingly beautiful in
fact. I don’t even need to dream....
I’m living slap bang in the middle of a dream, as is everyone else who is out
there enjoying a real taste of paradise.
I have taken loads of photographs.... I don’t know what I’m going to do
with them but having them to look at on a dreich day will be good! In will have a late night tonight sorting
out all today’s photographs!

‘M’
is on the last leg of her flight to New Zealand; they took orf from Hong Kong at 12.35 (BST)
... 19.35 Hong Kong time, and should arrive in Auckland about 09.00 (NZ time) tomorrow, (8th
September). ‘M’ then has one flight
... from Auckland to Wellington,....
where she will be met by, and in the arms of ,her ‘troops’. She will be happy.
22.30 What a magnificent day this has been for
anyone with a camera .... a flat calm sea, nice amount of cloud, and sunshine,
to change the lighting!.... yes a ‘perfect’ day, and I’ve had a great time. I don’t
know how many photos I’ve taken but it will be in
the hundreds. A day like this is just too good to
miss. I’m going to sort them, the
photos, out, and have a few printed professionally, approx A3 size, on canvas,
to hang around Ivy.

‘M’s airliner is scheduled to touch down at
Auckland (NZ) at 21.46 (BST).... that’s
27 hours and 43 minutes after taking off from Edinburgh.... 23 hours and
11 minutes actually in the ‘air’.... and 4 hours and 32 minutes in airport ‘transit’,
between Edinburgh and Auckland. ‘M’
will have the 45 minute ‘hop’ down to Wellington at midday (NZ time) to add on,
but I don’t think she will be worrying too much about that bit .... unless it’s
windy at Wellington.... but wind isn’t forecast. Unfortunately ‘tracking isn’t enabled on
this plane so I can’t watch it on ‘Flight Radar’.
Tomorrow
I have a dental appointment in Anstruther first thing.... I’ll go along early
and have a daunder around the harbour area before the appointment; and most likely a coffee in the Fisheries
Museum after it.
