It's that quiet lull before the full force of Christmas mania hits. There's not much for a daily blogger to observe. Today there are a few student runners down on the sand by the harbour. Some are wearing red Santa hats. This suggests a late to finish party or an early starting one. There again the youngsters could be among the lucky ones for whom today is the last day of exams. That alone would be a good enough reason to run along the beach in a Santa hat.
By the slipway the dog walkers are returning from their morning promenade. The dog walkers are absolute constants in a changing world. Whatever the season this group of retirees proceed from the pier to the Marine Laboratory and back. They're followed by a group of happy mutts. ' Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds'.

Dogs and a pony are a perfect introduction to a new week.

I like it when it feels as if the world is taking a deep breath... lovely music again, and will take time over that article later, but I suspect that Mr Cooke is coming close to the same understanding as is taught in Advaitic philosophy. Ta for the link. YAM xx
Such a peaceful place, to run, walk, study and improve one's life.
Thank you for the beautiful "The Truth Sent from Above" music; I wasn't familiar with this. How has your own tree decorating progressed?
That last photo is worthy of a book cover! Perhaps the latest iteration of "The Collected Musings of ANGUS and the Font". Loved the pony regiment. Why does someone always think that where they are driving is so much more important than any type of celebration and insist on driving through? But, I shan't let that upset this beautiful morning!
