Of course, if we can't manage a fix on the Sun, there's always the Moon...
That early morning light, which I mentioned above, does often pick out random objects in the Orcadian landscape.
I repeated the shot about 11 hours later, from the exact spot by the front door but, unfortunately, handheld isn't great for such light levels.
Recently, I was working away from home, and began to experience the first sign of a migraine, which, for me, is a tingling or numbness of the extremities (fingertips and tip of my nose). With a day's work ahead of me and a ferry trip back to Orkney to contemplate, I wasn't in the greatest of humours. To be fair, I very rarely have full-on migraines these days (with added visual distortions and stomach-wrenching nausea), and even the '72 hours of eye ache' version is much less frequent. But these initial symptoms were worrying, especially in the circumstances. Seeking advice from a fellow sufferer, I was astounded to learn that she uses caffeine as part of her treatment, which is why, after a swift trip to a chemist and some pharmacist advice to take the medication with food, I was to be found in a tea room with a huge slice of cappuccino cake (the hot chocolate with soya milk was optional). Well, that's my excuse, anyway.

I’m sure the cake and the coffee remedied the situation. I always rely on cake for any problems. Having said that I feel a cake coming on right now, a definite antidote to hurricane whoeveryouare! Have a good weekend sun spotting😀 B
What a topsy turvy world it is. You have gales and, today, we have sunshine!
