Overcast ....
21st December 2021 (Tuesday) 10.00 .... we have a heavily overcast (but
dry) morning here at Auchnagatt; I think the weather is much the same right up the East coast. Never mind; today is the Winter Solstice... the shortest day, presumably between the two longest nights. It’s only 181 days until the Summer Solstice 2022 (longest day) on 21st June. Happy days.
15.30 I haven’t seen the tractor-men working in
the fields today; then again I haven’t
been further than round the garden .... there’s a rawness in the air that has
had us staying in and, in my case, working on the computer. The troops are loupin' aboot on the Wii machine.
I
see that new COVID ‘rools’ are being introduced after the 26th December; nothing surprising about that. The new ‘rools’ should make a difference,
but they’re probably too late; we’ve
just had a ‘super – spreader’ week. At
least some funds have been made available for business’s hit by the ‘rools’; but, thinking about that: what if the public has discovered that, over
past couple of years, they can enjoy ‘socialising’
differently....and, even without the need for alcohol? I guess time will tell... after all our
shopping habits are changing. They (the
new ‘rools’) won’t make much difference to me.... Hogmanay is a young folk’s
thing.
Iain has just brought through a cuppa and chocolate biscuits, so I shall settle down to read a page or two of 'Lord of The Rings'.
19.00 I am going to play left handed at our Wii
golf tonight; in fact we all are, but I
have to because my right hand is too arthritic. It will be interesting to see how we all get
on.
22.30 Yesss.... I can play Wii golf left handed; (in fact we can all play left handed) .... so I am a happy bunny. I was beginning to think that old age was catching up with me .... but it isnae.
No
‘plan’ for tomorrow but I will go for a daunder up the road..... if it is
warmer than it was today. I think the
weather is supposed to be overcast but dry.
