some perspective

What strange weather we've been having. In 5 minute intervals we seem to get squalls, hail, then a bit of sunshine, gusty winds... it's all over the place.

I have a friend who said recently that she gets anxious when the trees start to sound like the sea.

This was the view from Duncryne this morning. About half an hour earlier it was raining horizontally. Luckily it stayed dry enough for this quick excursion. I've never seen the loch with white horses on before. So it must be windy out there. The trees were, indeed, sounding like the sea.

I loved being up high, getting some perspective, and watching the shadows of the clouds move across the land.

Jane recently challenged me to one of these '4 things' me-me's. So here I am getting round to it!
4 movies I'd watch again: Adaptation, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, Close Encounters, The Graduate.

4 places I've lived: Barcelona, Crystal Palace, Epsom, Dundee

4 tv shows I watch: (I don't have a tv at the moment! but I do watch on dvd/or would watch...): Northern Exposure, Springwatch, Crufts, Friends (see why?)... I would like to see a bit of that 'Madmen' show that's on about the advertisers from what I've heard about it - need to get an I-player...

4 places I've been: New Mexico, Gran Canaria, Berlin, Seville

4 people I email: Melissa, Barbara, Susan M, Suzanne amongst many others!!

4 things to eat: cooked breakfasts, cakes, winter puddings, raisins

4 places I'd rather be: New Mexico (specifically the diner in Alberqueque on Route 66, or Michaels Kitchen in Taos, having aforesaid coffee and cooked breakfast), India, 'the four corners' in Arizona, Orkney

4 things to look forward to: next cup of coffee, finishing my course, a holiday, warmer weather... getting a new apple mac that can take I-player.

4 people to tag: Hah! sorry guys...
Suzanne, Susan, Carolyn, Ginny

phew! now that's over - a muddy footnote...

There is a Wee Green Eco Craftfair this Saturday 15th at Killearn Village Hall 9.30am-2.30pm. I will be there selling my cards and any other wee bits I can muster, inbetween finishing my first assessment for college on Friday!!
Jane and Suzanne will be there, and I have a feeling it will be a nice way to spend a Saturday morning.
