P365 – Day 223 – spring is nearly here!
It’s still pretty wintery, but the days are slowly getting longer, it’s not quite as cold in the mornings and there are signs of life starting to emerge. No doubt we’re in for one or two more cold snaps before we say goodbye to winter (and then, of course,...
P365 – Day 213 – headwear
A few weeks ago, when it was particularly cold, I was thinking I needed a warm beanie that I wouldn’t be too embarrassed to wear in public. The one I normally wear (for dog walking, in the dark) is a plain black one, and whenever I wear it I...
P365 – Day 208 – did someone say it was cold?
Well it is. This was our thermometer this morning. I think it says -2 degrees. Not as cold as some of my friends in the US experience, but still cold. Yes, it is a very old, extremely unattractive thermometer (and the full thing looks even worse than the closeup)...
P365 – Day 203 – a (brief) walk in the park
I was home again today. The doctor told me to take the rest of the week off. My work colleagues were very keen that I not come to work and share my illness with them. I haven’t been able to sleep, and am still feeling well below ordinary. Another...
P365 – Day 197 – date night (16/07/2011)
Today was a very busy one. Juniordwarf had his swimming lesson in the morning, and we went to see our friends at their lovely coffee shop for morning tea. Two Metre Tall held a mid-winter Farm Bar, so we went up there for lunch and some ale and cider,...
P365 – Day 196 – and there was snow (15/07/2011)
It’s been very cold and wintery this week. The tops of the hills have been covered with snow, and earlier in the week people were even snowed in. The Mountain always looks glorious topped with snow, especially on the beautiful, clear sunny days – or rather, the times during...
P365 – Day 191 – winter
Here are some photos I took today while we were out driving in the winter weather. At Hamilton Styx River overflowing at Bushy Park That is snow falling on the windscreen River Derwent...
P365 – Day 190 – puddles (9/7/2011)
In the depths of a wintery afternoon, feeling like I might never shake this state of melancholy I have recently found myself experiencing, I had to get out of the house. Freezing, windy and wet. Not anyone’s idea of a good time to take a leisurely Saturday afternoon stroll....
P365 – Day 185 – winter trees
It’s winter. The trees have lost their leaves. I feel I should write some evocative words about winter and bare trees and overcast days, but after another day of trawling through files for answers I don’t think I’m going to find, the words aren’t there. Maybe I need to...
P365 – Day 180 – closeup #3 – ice
Well if yesterday was cold, today was freezing. I didn’t check the temperature outside when we left home, but a reasonable guess, based on the weather report, was about -2 degrees. This is the ice on the car windscreen. I like this one. It reminds me of the moon....
