Simmerdim is the short time between sunset and sunrise in mid-summer. This is what it looks like through bleary eyes at 2am...... (thank you Button for this experience)..... Best I could do as I couldn't see the settings on my camera! The tall blobby thing is Hoy High Lighthouse :-)
I have never heard fo the term Simmerdim & am so glad I popped over to read your blog! I am glad Button woke you up...well sort of ...she just wanted to show you such a beautiful sight ;) or else see if she could get some more food....(that would be Nylablue's train of thought...)
ReplyDeleteHoping you are having a lovely Summer there; ours has been lovely so far in this part of Canada. Not too hot & little humidity & lots of Sun...PERFECT!
Regards, Sherri-Ellen & Nylablue too
I collect words I consider delicious so thank you for sharing Simmerdim with me; I will write it down on my list. I wrote a recent blog post listing some favorite words and Simmerdim will be in my next post about words.
ReplyDeleteI love the term Simmerdim. It's used more in Shetland than in Orkney, but I like to use it.... it has a lovely tone to it....
DeleteYes Button fancied a little light breakfast! Or maybe it was supper.... I forget... I DID enjoy the view but I also love my sleep :-) I think "Simmerdim" is a norse word (viking). Summer weather here is a bit average but it's been lovely these last few days, warm and sunny so I'll not complain (too loudly anyway!).
