November 3rd today, and our changeable weather continues. Today it is 4 years ago since the death of one of my local friends, Sophia. I had first met her in 2013, but lost touch. Nonetheless, she was one of those people in this life that touch you, if not physically. She left behind grieving relatives, over in her native Australia, and friends around the globe. Sophia classed herself as a mermaid, and engaged in wild swimming in the sea. Even in these cool latitudes. One of our shared interests was cats. Her little cat, Torran, was found wandering outside her house afterwards, and was kindly taken in by a local friend. She is still there, down in Uist, but will meet Sophia again beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
Swim free, friend.
