Back to Ocean Terminal, needles and all


I had an appointment at Ocean Terminal with the Chinese Doctor and his battery of tiny wee sharp needles, so I left Mrs. B. to go on a walk about for an hour or so. However, beforehand, I decided to take a couple of photos with remarkable results, the first, looking over the main dock was taken about two an a half hours before the other, when the wind had dropped and the sun had come round - what a difference. In the other harbour, with no wind there was a superb mirror image of the various scenes. I still have grave misgivings about them building the massive blocks of flats on reclaimed land out into the river - having seen the results of the tsunami in Sri Lanka and other parts of the world, I would hate to be living there if we get a real humdinger of a North Sea storm and north east gale blowing up the Firth of Forth.
While I was being turned into the veritable pin cushion, with fifteen needles today, followed by acu pressure, and then a much deeper "cupping" session, Mrs. B. was bumping into friends in the centre. Alan and Carol, Alan now on the mend after his recent heart attack, losing weight and back at work - having a weekend free of babysitting as the bold lap dancer, his lovely wife Tracy and their two angels are off to sunnier climes for a break ( its Ok for some as they say).
AND , she also bumped into the former Joyce Lancashire, over from Troon with her husband for a friend's wedding. Joyce used to be our neighbour in Eskhill, looked after our RGB when he was a "wee dottle"and I was out "socialising"!! Looking very well and enjoying life.
Bit of a problem with the wee camera now as there is dirt in the inside which makes some of the photos look as though they are smudged, but to have it opened and cleaned would cost as much as a new camera (sorry).
