Eid Mubarak!

I said farewell to the Orkney Selkie this morning but as we are planning a trip to the beach tomorrow it is only a transient  farewell. Fingers crossed that it will not be raining.  It was forecast as being sunny when I checked the forecast yesterday but now it’s changed to cloudy so who knows what it will be come the morning.

However, I made it into town this morning in the dry but after a coffee on high looking down on a Lowry-esque scene on the square between the Art Galleries  the ever present drizzle commenced. I blame the jet stream- we all do but we have no means of  hoicking it up to give us some relief. 

As I walked home past the Mosque I  remembered that today was Eid when I saw the crowds of people around spilling out into George Square. As I turned to look at the festive throng, two men told me it was Eid and were really delighted that I could reply, Eid Mubarak! My lovely neighbours are having a big gathering of friends in their flat. 
On another dreich Scottish weekday it must make you feel so much better to have something important to celebrate.
