hedging my bets - as it were

 

We are off island soon for a few days. If weather doesn't upset the ferry driver. If that is likely we may take an earlier ferry.

Keith will be off to "prison" whilst our lovely neighbour Moira will feed Hungry.

shingling

 

Eve was in  town this morning collecting her new glasses. Obviously not as fashionable as mine but probably more practical. Whilst there she met Gerald here with Sue at their marriage/hand fasting session in Stornoway a few years back. We like Gerald and Sue but just do not get to see them much.

Had a shingles jag the other day. It's a good thing and that but gosh didn't I stagger round as the jag took affect. [yes I did] Was like a weak 100 year old and felt the end was nearish. Luckily Eve kept me from face planting and generally making a fool of myself. Now rested at home I feel much better now you ask.

One or the other

 

Glasgow.

I think I prefer Edinburgh - more refined and what have you.

wedding

We are off to another Scottish wedding soon and I'm taking a camera hoping to catch a few of my unique wedding images. Somewhere there is a stash of images from other weddings I've attended so perhaps they will do. you will be pleased to know I have decided upon the cameras to take; simple, lightweight and above all, fashionable [in some circles].

Oh and I have yet to decide which gorgeous outfit to wear at the occasion. Shall I wear my fladden sailing suit on account of all the rain down there or, an anglo/Western Isles Shalwar kemeez type of confection that I am, I must admit rather partial to.

Thursday

 

I rested yesterday - whilst wearing my new 'seeing' glasses, I like them. At this rate I'll be buying some new 'looking' glasses as well.

Yes, yes this is an old snap I posted. Colour as well. Please forgive me while I recover the monotones. It's a bike anyway. Not Eve i might add.

easterly

 

The bitter easterly wind we have been having recently has thankfully abated. Maybe Keith and Hungry will venture out more soon. I think Hungry may have forgotten what it's like out there.

Actually the sun is almost shining as I tap nonchalantly at the keyboard whilst hoping inspiration strikes.

oops

 I'm currently not walking on the beach as much as I did pre stroke. Despite it thankfully being slight it has affected me more than I first thought. Not quite so keen on uneven ground at the moment. Sleep is affected by me not knowing where I am when I first awake and then, the other day I fell in the loo at a cafe and I struggled somewhat to get up from being wedged in a corner. 

All of of a sudden I feel really old and vulnerable. Oh well.
