6 Feb 2011 05:02 pmOnly a few pictures this week. It has not been weather conducive to going out with the camera, really. We have had rain and gales for much of the week. As the wind blew up yet again on Friday afternoon I said to a work colleague "It's a very good day to not be on the boat." ('The Boat' is local parlance for our ferries back and forwards to the UK aka 'the adjacent island'!)
Then I remembered that my sister and brother-in-law were actually going to be on the boat that evening. It sailed as usual at 7.45pm (Text from sister - 'we must be mad...'). They finally docked at 1.15am (Text from sister 'worse crossing I've ever been on.') I was right - it was a very good day to not be on the boat.
Today is also a very good day to not be on the boat - there are pictures to show you why under the cut. Guess when sister and brother-in-law are returning? Their boat sails from Heysham at 2.am in the morning, and both are back at work at 8.30am tomorrow. But it was a trip they felt they had to do as B-i-l's older brother is terminally ill and, as D-d puts it, every time he manages another month without actually dying they have to go and see him for the last time again.
It is a day for comfort food, today - the sort of weather that gives me the urge to bake. I think it is the comfort aspect of it - even though I can, and occasionally do, bake all sorts of more exotic things, when it is this sort of day I bake scones. Well - I had to really -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dougalsservant gave me some very, very nice strawberry jam for Christmas, and it goes so well with fresh scones! And S2C prefers cheeses scones - so I made him some whilst I was at it. I should have taken a picture of the ones we have just had with coffee - but I did take a picture of the ones that are left.
So - this week's pictures include ( something that made me laugh, the sea, and scones! )
