A cold wet day – 15 February 2026

I’m getting fed up with writing that same headline. It is cold and it is wet, but it’s Scotland and we get lots of those commodities, so when we get a chance to see the sun for a while, we should jump for joy. There, done.

There are no photos today. I didn’t want to take my expensive camera out in the rain and get it ruined just for the opportunity of taking some photos. I’ve tried hard over the last ten years to take a photo every day and post it with a comment. I think it might be the time for a change. Not a big change, just a chance to miss the occasional photo if there is no reason to post one. Likewise, I’m thinking that taking photos from holidays or just the occasional weekend away might not always generate photos. So maybe a collection might suffice for a weekend’s photography, with bullet points to comment on places or landscapes. I’ll see how it goes. If it doesn’t work, I can always just fall back on an hour or so’s work posting photos and typing up blog posts.

Today was one of those days that were just one rain shower after another. Scamp and I had a lot of work to do, inside. Lots of boxes need to go to the skips. Lots of old and ancient cameras need to be go too. The back bedroom, My Room as I call it (I don’t dare to think what Scamp calls it!) needs a spring clean. It started today and the room looks better already, although a lot of the junk is just pushed to the walls, at least the floor is clear.

Dinner tonight was Mince ’n’ Tatties for me with an extra of beetroot on the side (Sorry Jamie). Scamp had a Mixed Peas experiment that looked very nice. I might ask for a sample for tomorrow.

Later we watched Masterchef the Professionals. How good it was to sit there without someone shouting “Oh Mate!!!”, or grinning like a loon. Just ordinary folk making extraordinary food. Keep up the good work/

Tomorrow we are hoping for a dry day for a change and a chance to dance Quickstep in Kirsty’s class.

I relented and PoD is another view of Fannyside.
