home

 

Our little house nestled as it were.

We like it.

You can even see me snapping it with the Reto UW&S and Foma 200 @ 400. the camera didn't know I was shooting at 400 so I developed it longer.

when t'boat comes in

 

It's not always like this let me tell you. For example it's blowing a bit today and Baltic. The sea may have a few ripples on it and then sometimes the driver of the boat doesn't want to play.

And the there boatee on the left is apparently not even seaworthy and is impounded or something. On it's way to Africa for a spot of fishing it was.

Eve used to like sailing our little yatchette in these conditions because mainly we just bobbed around. But one did have to keep an eye open for the ferries as they tooted their horn at you if you got in their way. 

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.
