Looked out all my camera gear last night, set the alarm for 0530hrs with the intention of getting up and going to Vane Farm RSPB nature reserve. Taking fantastic shots of sea eagles in flight silhouetted against a lazy morning sunrise. 100 greylag geese taking off from a misty ethereal Loch Leven. Passing like minded souls, exchanging smug hello's knowing that we were out there before the country had woken up, early bird catches the worm and all that.
0530hrs came along, I could hear the rain outside, I was tired, weak willed, my pillow was fluffy. My hand came down on the clock, it stopped its incessant pleading for me to be the adventurer I am in my head. I sank deeper into the pillow for another 3 hours of guilty sleep.
It is now 0925hrs. I am in my dressing gown, drinking coffee, watching daytime tv.
I hate myself....
Don't be too hard on yourself - think we've all been there! The intention was there...and the weather was rubbish and dreich today as well. (er, that's all my usual excuses used up now... ;)
