Dawn getting dressed

      With the dark mornings and because of the clouds there have been some truly spectacular sunrises this week and it all happens in the space of five or six minutes.

      As always it is the usual routine, come downstairs and put the kettle on, fight to get the back door open with the two terriers milling about around your feet, scrabbling at the door and nipping one another, then they're out for their pee and peace descends.
      Well a sort of peace descends as they charge around the back garden checking to see if there are any intruders such as rats daft enough to be out there. Sometimes there are but the rats have learnt that hanging around in the garden can be bad for their health.

      Back to the dawn. At the top is stage one of dawn setting herself up and getting dressed, and immediately above is stage two and she is looking a little more respectable and minutes later stage three. Absolutely brilliant and all that in the space of five or six minutes with the major bonus that the spectacle is absolutely free and now it's time for the first cup of tea.
      Ayers Rock? Give me the transformer box any day, particularly with the sleepy looking wood pigeon perching on the insulators.
