A Grey Day...

...that ended a bit more impressively.
Right, off to put me haggis on. Eternally one step behind, right now...

Absolutely beautiful. I love the purple sky reflected in the puddle. Haggis? We love that in our house. :)

I was so surprised when I looked up and saw it! I had to dash right out... *g*

Mmmn, haggis... the vegetarian kind these days (though the best haggis I ever had was the real thing in the Shetland Islands, fried in batter with chips from the chippie! *g*

Gorgeous, gorgeous Somerset sky colours!

Right, off to put me haggis on

Um, veggie innards? :D

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Definitely veggie haggis! Yum!

And yeay Somerset colours! *g*

That's lovely. It stayed mainly grey here and the next time I looked up from my work, it was dark. Have fun with the haggis!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I did wonder, since I'm over the other side from you now, whether you'd had a sunset there. (Nice to see you around again, by the way!)

My haggis was delicious - some mash, some greens, some onion gravy... yum!

[owned-by-a-cat.livejournal.com]

Sounds delicious, too! And yes, it's nice to be back. We even have sun this morning. Sort of.
Have a lovely day!

D'you know, I can't remember what today's weather was, and it's only just turning into tomorrow... Grey, I think. Basically - grey. Haggis leftovers makes up for alot though! *g*

Wasn't it a stunning sunset?! Your piccies are miles better than mine!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I so wasn't expecting it! I looked up in the darkening room though, and had to dash out straight away with my wee camera... And you know, I reckon we should see your pics anyway... *g*

Wow. When I see an amazing sunset and snap it, it always looks totally banal - but these look fab, especially with the reflection.

No haggis for me, ta - wouldn't say no to a dram, mind, but haggis - I can take it or leave it, tbh! (zoic#2 got invited to a haggis-tatties-neeps-dram supper last night, though - have to ask how it all went down! *g*)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The trick is to focus on the lightest part of the picture so that the light's metered from there - it brings all the colours out... *g*

I really like veggie haggis (and years ago I loved the actual haggis that was friend in batter and came with chips that they sold at the chippie in the Shetlands - delish!) and I had this sitting in my fridge all ready to go... and then realised that I had the 26th in my head (Australia Day) when I was thinking of Burns night - *headdesk* The closest thing I have to a dram in the house is Baileys, though... well, hmmn! Hope it turns out Zoic#2 had fun - how sophisticated to be invited to a Burns supper!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, it was a student Burns supper - one of the flats in the halls of residence is inhabited by all Scottish students, who apparently decided to make a night of it - so I suspect the qualifier "sophisticated" may not apply *bg*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Heeee!

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Burns Night - is that now a thing? I suppose we never did it as such, it just got bundled into New Year. Probably because of school holidays.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your veggie haggis!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think so - not really, not more than anything else the supermarkets latch onto. I don't think I'd ever heard of it outside books when I was growing up (though it turns out my ancestors were almost all Scottish, and in fact one of them was even an actual poet friend of Robbie Burns, so... *g*). I only really notice it now cos I discovered that I liked haggis when I was up in Scotland nearly a dozen years ago now (at first the regular kind, but now the veggie kind) and now that you can get it in the supermarkets it tends to be Burns Night when it's more prominently displayed and I tend to buy it. I have bought it at other times of the year though, when I've spotted the corner they've hidden it in. The fact that I completely forgot to eat it yesterday should give you a clue as to how much noise is made about it in general, cos nothing reminded me until far too late - bearing in mind that I don't watch much telly, mind...

It was delish, thank you! If nothing else, a good excuse to make onion gravy... yum... *g*

[minori-k.livejournal.com]

Beautiful pictures! Hope you are fine with your jaw problem now...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yes, getting there (sorry, I'm behind in replying to my other post - it's a wonder anyone ever speaks to me, really... *g*). I'm seeing my craniosacral therapist again tomorrow, so hopefully that'll help a bit more too... *g*

Oh, really nice colours! Is it cold in Somerset now?
We are going through a very strange mild phase here, with temperatures that would fit better into May or early June.
It doesn't feel like January at all.
I hope you are all settled into your new place and are enjoying life there!
You certainly have a lot of things lined up to do, with the violin-playing, the reading and writing groups and various other things (read your other post and then this one).
I feel positively lazy in comparison! *g*
And good to hear that you found someone who is good at fixing the face pain you've been having. I hope it will be gone for good with another treatment or two.

Beautiful sunset, such striking colours!

[moonlightmead.livejournal.com]

The photos are stunning. Lovely.

Haggis, heh. One of several meals where I think the veggie version is better than the animal-containing one. (I was going to say 'meat-containing', but, well.) Hope it was good.
