The Almost Constant Feature.

Of living in the North East of Scotland is the wind.  Today we had it big time.  Gusts up to 30 mph.

Creating wild seas.

I got to the railings and did my sea air breathing.  But no walk further as the wind was too strong for me to do it.  

So I went back to the car and took these photos from the car window.

We then came home.  

I got cracking on guillotining the photos of my original paintings for the Christmas Cards.

Next is to do the folding of the card, stick on the image, put in envelope, address, stamp and post.  Oh not forgetting, which has been known, writing in card and saying who from!

While I was chopping up the photos I was bird watching at one side of the Shedudio.  Visits by two different Sparrowhawks.  One an obvious juvenile learner as it crashed.  Not the elegant swoop of the older one.  I was looking at the changing sky.  Cant wait for the 22nd December when it is the shortest day and then begins to lengthen.  Slowly.

My eldest daughter who is a research fellow at Edinburgh University has been and will be on a picket line outside said University.

She is the one in the high vis waistcoat.  Very proud of her.

So now it is the evening.  Feeding log burner, sipping wine, on my own apart from the cat and talking to you.

If you are a friend of mine on facebook do not respond to a friend request.  Delete and report to facebook.  I have been 'copied' apparently.  Oh and just to show you this

This was put up by Channel 4 as our Prime Minister was not man enough to appear on the leaders Climate Debate.  Shame on him.  It is an ice sculpture.
