After an hour’s dancing.

Woke about 5am to the joyous sound of hundreds of screaming seagulls. Well, it felt like hundreds, but it could have been thousands. Really, why do we call them seagulls. Most of them have never been near the sea!

Went down early for breakfast and were some of the first folk in the restaurant. At least we didn’t have to queue for the breakfast. After that we went for a walk down to the viewing gallery over the River Tay and at the early (for us) hour of 10am, it was pleasantly comfortable to walk around without a jacket or a hoodie.

We took a circuitous route round the town that led back to the Salutation, thinking we might be the first there, but we were wrong, there were lots of other dancers there tying on shoes and discussing yesterday’s high points.

We danced a mixture of old and new dances, mostly sequence dances with the occasional ballroom or jive dance thrown in. An hour and a half later we trundled out of the hotel and drove out of Perth. We’d already dropped our bags, rucksacks and other stuff in the car.

A relatively quiet drive home with a stop at M&S in Dunblane for tonight’s dinner which was a roast in the bag chicken. I’d already bagged a few frames in Perth as a backup just in case.

Dinner was great. Nicely roasted chicken which was moist and tasted great. Served with a side salad and the last of the new potatoes.

Watched the Emilia Romagna GP and gave a small cheer for the driver who came second, only because he was British.

PoD was a shot of a padlock on the railing of “The Ship” viewing gallery of the River Tay. A kind of abstract.

Tomorrow may be tidying up day.
