Sunday Mist Rising

.

There are three main benefits from rising early on a Sunday morning.  One is the sight of the rising sun clearing away the mist that lies in the valley.  This allows some lovely pictures, if you have a longer lens than my little camera possesses.  The second benefit is the healthy body that is obtained by riding the bike up slopes you did not realise were around that bend you had never ventured along before.  This is enhanced when you get to the end and discover this is a dead end and the road sign has been removed by person or persons unknown when leaving the 'Six Bells' late one night.  A certain desire to knock 'Six Bells' out of them crosses the cyclists mind at this point. The third benefit arrives after lunch when watching the poor picture of the Heart of Midlothian being roundly stuffed by St Johnstone you find the drowsiness overtaking you so that you manage to miss much of the slaughter!  I suppose there is a fourth benefit not connected to the early morning, the mental exercise caused by asking who the Heart of Midlothian's next manager might be, Derek McInnes anyone...?

Derek strikes me as a very sensible and level headed young man.

That should answer the question!

Another good photie.

Hmm, still haven't found a church or have you exhausted them all?

Are you saying the churches don't want you? Maybe you are supposed to be there to make THEM uncomfortable. I can assure you your untethered state is wrong- headed. There is no perfect church, but you know that.

Start your own if you must. Of course I see how that could present its own challenges, you gnarring the way you do. Do let the Holy Spirit soften your heart a bit... ;) hug.

I love the mists too, but getting up early? No. Just wait until later in the year and the dawn happens at a more suitable time.

I think most teams in the SPL wil 'click' one week and maybe 'misfire' the next. That seems to be the way with the likes of St Mirren, St Johnstone, Motherwell, Dunfermline, Kilmarnock etc.
This is possibly good as each 90 minutes is a case of who plays best on the day.
A certain club hasn't really 'clicked' at all so far though. (mutters under breath)
