Weekend on the road

It's been so nice to have sunny days after so much gloom, it seemed a shame to stay indoors, so we put more miles on the car. At Lake Cossayuna, we saw people ice fishing. It's been quite cold, I would guess in the 20's F. -6 C Although the Oracle would have me believe … Continue reading Weekend on the road →

The trouble with email…

0743, 23rd January, 2021 Take your eye off the sky for a moment and it will transform from boring flat grey into something spectacular. With temperatures well below freezing, it was tempting to ignore the sudden transformation, but eventually I have to do my rounds anyway, filling the bird feeders and dumping ice from the … Continue reading The trouble with email… →

Ring of Fire

Long ago sunrise, somewhere in Indonesia With so much unhappiness and negativity still in evidence, I thought I would post some cheerful faces I was privileged to meet, long ago. This young lad was an absolute charmer. He seemed genuinely happy to have the chance to talk to us, not because he hoped we'd give … Continue reading Ring of Fire →

Predictions

21st January, 2021 According to my (very fallible) Oracle, this is what 9% chance of precipitation looks like. As the hill opposite disappeared, I wondered what 100% would look like! The weather has been playing with us for days now. Every night it snows and every day lately we've had flurries but nothing that amounts … Continue reading Predictions →

Dear old friends

Thimphu and Joely (bunny) a bit surprised The day has been a little distracted, being that I really couldn't not watch the transition in Washington DC. So I decided to look for a random photograph, taken in January of a random year. Most turned out to be other people's photos, or ones that evoked a … Continue reading Dear old friends →

Well well…

Monday, 18th January, 2021 .The nightly dusting of snow It's all very well, taking the cats out for a short walk, but there are times when it's not the best idea. Such as yesterday morning. A truck stopped down the road at about 9am, lights flashing, what have you. It occurred to me that it … Continue reading Well well… →

Mist, fog and smog…

15th January 20121 A friend of mine came to work one day and announced that she had seen ducks walking along Southern State Parkway. We all laughed, but she looked at us and said "well it's foggy, they couldn't see to fly". Cambridge ducks would have had the same problem this morning. Though I wouldn't … Continue reading Mist, fog and smog… →

Agats

Tobias returns to the Asmat Having failed, miserably, at snorkeling, I never-the-less found myself sitting, one afternoon in a rubber boat over the magnificent reef called Lucipara which is in the Straits of Molucca, Indonesia. Many avid divers had been awaiting the moment for days. It would be far less rewarding for me, but I … Continue reading Agats →
