Gulls

Another grey drizzly day and a Sunday to boot, which is not all bad as I always try to keep Sundays meek and mild.

Rang my sister to wish her happy birthday and then off for a coffee and a viewing of the sea and beach-scape near us. The seagulls were mobbing up and down the dunes doing their best to appear nonchalant whilst eyeing up potential handouts.

Spent quite some time getting a good image of the two or three that persisted in using the nearby signage board for a vantage point. Today's blip is the best of the lot.

Early evening spent with nephew, his wife and his Mum (my sister-in-law) - who is visiting from Sydney - enjoying pot luck dinner and a catch up of family news. Phone rang and it was news of the arrival of the newest member of the family........welcome Euan/Ewan and congrats to A & P on their change in status. Special felicitations to the divine Ms. M (alias Maggie D) and he-who-has-retired (John D) on becoming a grandparents at last. Grand grandparents they will be too. Blessings all round.
