The end of a year
It was a bit snowy this morning and then turned into rain. I'm having another go at sourdough. While I was tidying the kitchen I looked out and saw a flash of yellow. The feeders were being mobbed by goldfinches. Difficult to get a good shot and my best one keeps coming out sideways - no idea why.
The rest of the day has been spent pottering. Willow is not impressed by the weather. She hasn't been out much.
Talked to mum a couple of times, about deliveries, received some late Christmas cards from Australia (posted end of Nov/early Dec) and France and early birthday cards. Was in contact with all the boys but I still feel very alone. I never feel at my best on a Scottish Hogmanay.
Olivia managed to have her belated school graduation, outside and I was sent the pics. I am so glad she was able to be with and say goodbye to her friends. The girls look so much older. I am missing them.
Drove to Margiotta (oh dear) to get some supplies of nibbles for later - they are actually open till10 p.m.
Watched the 2021 fireworks from Auckland and Sydney on YouTube. Felt almost normal and as usual spectacular. I have some party poppers. They will have to do.
Later I'll have chilli and even later there will be our Hogmanay Zoom. And then that will be a wrap, the end of the oddest year ever.
