Almost a month ago I wrote a post about one memorable Hogmanay. Yesterday I got thinking about more of them, and started planning this post*. And then today I listened to reports of quieter celebrations around the world, and the cancellation of Edinburgh's "traditional" Hogamanay festival. Now I'm no spring chicken but I'm not *that*…Read more Ringing in the changes

Another happy coincidence?
One of my FB groups has a daily theme, on Monday it was "1989, your memories". My head filled with this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V7SINjz96E it had been released two years earlier*, but became the soundtrack of my late '89. It's Hogmanay 1989. In my mind it's wet, but that doesn't matter. On the M8, it's dark,…Read more Another happy coincidence?
Crossing the line
Not in a bad way, though I have in my time. And despite the picture this isn't the end (I hope), just the end of my challenge. I've found writing daily more difficult than I did back in May, so thank you to everyone who's stopped by. For one thing I've pretty much run out…Read more Crossing the line
29th November, almost there
Yesterday's sunset, and later starlit sky didn't deliver their promises. Today has had a grey, damp chillness. And I'm feeling at a little of a loose end. Yesterday I was very efficient and prepared tonight's supper* so there's no real cooking to do . The vegetables are ready too. celeriac chips to be air fried…Read more 29th November, almost there
Going back to Crinan

Today we parked a mile or so from Crinan village at the Bellanoch bridge, and headed east from there. the River Add looking west towards Crinan and the sea I was surprised to see this lovely creature sunning itself on a rock*…Read more Going back to Crinan
Going out for lunch again
I suppose it's the sign of a good lunch because once again I've no photos of the food. We arrived first today so I was able to take a real time view through the window. (Below and the featured image) And I took some of our drinks these are mine and MrS's, and our friend…Read more Going out for lunch again
Lunch on the beach
We had break in the weather again today. I had my yoga class first thing and MrS wanted to visit the barber, so poor DogS had to wait a little longer than usual for her walk. But I'm sure she thought the wait was worth it because we headed out to , drum roll time…Read more Lunch on the beach
Brioche
Yes, today I am channeling Marie Antoinette, because it was brioche she reputedly said the peasants could eat, not cake as it's often misquoted. Just a week and a day, oh yes I'm counting, into my "fast" I was craving something nice to eat at "teatime". MrS bakes bread every day, usually making rolls, one…Read more Brioche
A nice bowl of pasta
It's still very wet and windy. I had to be careful not to fix my gaze on the real trees outside while in tree pose this morning* I managed to fit in my walk during a brief lull after lunch, but I had to up my pace to get home before the drizzle turned to…Read more A nice bowl of pasta
Happy coincidences*
On my walk today I was planning what to write. I'd been thinking about "rainbows" as a theme. Then I turned my head and saw this Actually that's a zoomed up view. What I really saw was this I was a bit worried that I'd written a rainbow post before, but I was remembering this…Read more Happy coincidences*
