Soggy bottom
It’s not too bad a day today. There were large flakes of snow first thing – allegedly (I was still in my bed). I took the rubbish out for collection in a heavy drizzle. It was odd, not at all dreich despite the wet – and with a rosy glow to the clouds. Only a …
When pigs fly
Spoiled for choice for a Blip today. I have been out and about with [url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/Turts99]Turts99[/url], checking out [url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/2003180716820532518]an empty manor house at the top end of the island.[/url] I shot 154 frames.

Visibility Good; Precipitation within sight
We have sight of the sun today! The wind speed is below Gale Force! Oh, Happy Day. To the rear of the house however, we have [i]precipitation within sight[/i]. Time to get those thermals back on?
Cats and Dogs and Dogged Persistence
The rain continues to be terrible and not at all conducive to photography. Despite 70mph gusts and teeming rain I did sally forth to my craft group today. I left the spinning wheel at home and took some knitting. This is the Unfinished Object (UFO) that I am trying to complete by the end of …
Perfectly simple, simply perfect
I’m swatching. I’m not supposed to be starting any new projects in January but I want a reserve project for group tomorrow in case I find that the one that I am [i]supposed[/i] to be working on is too difficult to do in company. (Charts can go haywire when the chat gets going) I sometimes …
