No Sun Today

We haven't seen the sun today, so the light is pretty dull and flat.  I went to morning tea with my church friends, there were lots of us there, with lots of chatter and laughter.  From there I went to Bremner Bay, took a few photos, liked this one the best.  The ones that missed the cut I have added as extras.  I am about to go to school to collect little 'h' and take her to  a piano lesson, then home to Luggate for a family dinner.
