Tuesday Notes

Early morning sun angling through the trees and casting long shadows on the grass.
Heavily scented boughs of purple lilac hanging over garden walls.
Sunlight illuminating the line of colourful buildings on Bruntsfield Links
A missed rainbow

The threatening clouds gathering to the south West
The first hesitant drips of rain
The lack of early traffic

Home to a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes- naughty but nice

A phone call from a fellow blipper arranging a visit on Saturday

The morning papers and a cup of tea

Reading that love handles prevent infections, and being fit matters, not being over weight.
Make a resolution to ignore items in trashy newspapers

A treacle scone with jam
Embarrassingly sampling a disgraceful number of tasty bites of Emmental cheese

A missed lunch thanks to the crunchy nut cornflakes, the treacle scone and the cheese

Rescuing window box plants from certain death because of dehydration despite the rain of late

Watching people fighting with their variously coloured umbrellas in the rain and the wind

Anticipation of watching 'The King's Speech' on DVD with our hardly used cinematic sound system


Noticing that the sun has reappeared and Tuesday has taken on a new look.
