Drippy day 3

My first observation on waking this morning was the silence.  The wind which was roaring around the cottage and through the neighbouring woods last night, had dropped.  Today, at 07.24, a blackbird broke the silence with its first song of the day.  The light levels were low, and it was tempting to lie a little longer, but the dogs would have been checking their watches so I got up to take them out.

We walked down the lane and then it started to rain.  It hasn't stopped since and we have only managed a brief peep at the lovely Kiloran Bay, a short and extremely wet walk, and have now retreated to the cottage and the woodburner.  The forecast suggests a little sunshine later this afternoon.  Time will tell!

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
