Family portrait.

Here is a very beloved group - my brother, nieces and sister-in-law. I've had a lovely evening and have some really nice photos which will be posted on Flickr at some point. What a sociable week! I'm off to see a pal tomorrow afternoon too!

I haven't been quite as sore today and really enjoyed the sunshine here. I then went off to see my brother and family. We had a wonderful meal in an Italian restaurant on Byres Road in Glasgow. They serve small tapas-like courses with large bowls of pasta to share - a great way to eat. I had Stornoway black pudding and duck - an amazing and tasty combination.

Sad for Scotland tonight - so near and yet so far - the usual story.

I have done some work on my blipfolio and deleted some of the pictures I added with enthusiasm at the beginning. I created some space and I now have a lensbaby section. Do check it out if you feel inclined.

Off to bed now. Sleep well blippers - oops - a backblip but only just....
