Bonnie pre sunrise sky ....
13th December 2020 (Sunday) 11.00 .... there was a, “red sky in the
morrrrning, shepherd’s warning” pre- sunrise sky at dawn; really gorgeous with a hint of ominous about it. Loved it. Trigger (Spaniel) was on the beach taking Tom out for his morning exercise (it might have been the other way round); they go out to the lighthouse and Lady’s Tower. The Lady’s Tower would have been a good place to catch the sunrise this morning. I didn’t go out on the bike because I saw that we were going to have an interesting sky and that the tide was out; a good combination for sunrise time pictures.
I’m
going to have a coffee then set up the computer to take in the service from
Kinneuchar kirk at 11.00. Enjoy your
day: having said that, by the look of
the sky, rain isn’t far away.
12.00 I enjoyed the ‘live’ service from
Kinneuchar; funnily enough you get the feeling of being ‘in
the kirk’, and I have the bonus of not having to worry about anyone hearing me
sing.
The rain arrived in ‘Royal’ airspace just before 11.30 and it’s raining steadily now though not overly heavy: Not by Scottish standards anyway. Slight ‘flap on’; I’m feeling peckish, so I’d better have something to eat before making shortbread biscuits.
19.00 It’s hard to imagine, after the kind of
weather we’ve had today, that anyone could have enjoyed themselves; but I did.
It can be hard to get motivated on a day such as today.... and I didn’t
do very much, but one of the things that I did do was a major success; the shortbread biscuits. I still tend to over-bake them because I’m
not sure of the oven temperatures .... but now that I know what I’m doing, the
next batch should be ‘perfick’. I’m a ‘happy’
boy.
Over the past year or so I have been getting phone calls from a lady in Canada,
