I was right, I was right, I was right!!!

This morning I was awake early and had to decide whether to get out of bed, have some breakfast and jump on the bus to university. Looking out the window, I could see that the sky was clear as a bell, there was no wind and the roads were clear. I thought and thought and thought - and went back to bed. Now the snow is coming down in buckets and there is still no wind to blow it, and the clouds, away so it will last for a while. I made the right decision because I might have got there this morning but.......

More, more weather

Will the sun keep shining, will the snow keep falling, how do they mix the two, does it matter - just hope that it lasts forever!!!

I changed the background

I really liked the snapshot that I put up yesterday so I put it in as background, hope you like it.

When I got up this morning it hadn't changed either so I thought long and hard about going out in it but I had the sense to make more coffee and made the right decision too. I decided to stay in.

There's snow more snow this weekend

It had been dull and cloudy since I had gotten out of bed so I sat at the computer and drank coffee. The sun finally came out so I got dressed, picked up the camera and went out for a walk. I managed about a hundred yards and quickly took a photo before it all started again. I turned and ran home.

They've done it again!!!

First thing this morning I went on-line to see the weather report and it looked like it was going to be a fair day, half cloud, half sun and a northerly wind, eighteen or twenty knots. Not bad for this time of year I thought - hah, then the truth came out. Two hours later and the snow and hailstones coming down as it blew a gale. I thought to  myself "They never mentioned this!!!".

Then I said to myself "It's a lovely day to look out the window - again." so that is what I'm going to do. Fingers crossed that I don't run out of bread or milk.

I'd like to say thanks!!!

My mothers first wedding.

Some time ago, maybe a month or two, maybe three, I'm not really sure how long ago, someone, friend or relative and I had a conversation about my mother, Mary Dickson, nee Twatt. That person went home and found a photograph of my mother at her first wedding and was good enough to send it to me. Unfortunately, by the time it was posted I had moved on from that house but it was forwarded up to me at my new place. I cannot remember who you are so can't say thank you or ask the many more questions that I would like to. Hopefully, one day soon, I will work out who you are and be able to express my gratitude.

How do I explain it?

Yesterday was full of intentions and promises. Yesterday the weather was beautiful. Yesterday I expected the same today. Yesterday I saw the beauty and the benefits in a good, long walk.

Then I slept in. Then I messed around on the computer. Then I made another cup of coffee. Then I saw the sky change. Then I asked myself "Will I get dressed now?" and then I accepted the fact that the walk up to Eshaness Lighthouse that had been so attractive had walked on by.

I think I'll make another cup of coffee.
