We had another wonderful celebration at the Ancient Technology centre on Friday the 22nd of December. It was a long dark night, but the weather stayed clear, and we sang and drummed, ate, and drank. It is a month ago but with Christmas that following weekend and the New Year, of the Gregorian calendar, beginning, I only decided today to write. The days are still too short but just a tad longer every day, the mornings dark yet.
Â
I share a few clips from the 22nd of December.

Â
To me it seems a long time ago now, I want to have the smell of spring in the air, but not quite yet (except on the sunny days...we had quite a few, crispy and clear ones, today rain and storm. Variety they say, is the spice of life.
Â

It cheers me that there are events ahead which make me think of sun and swimming and just enjoying life – without wrapping up, putting boots on and finding gloves. This is hermit time, for much of the time, and it's just as well that I have a fairly sunny disposition and manage to pull myself up when the rain lashes.
Â
In fact, it reminds me of a song that I spontaneously sang to the pan, as it is always conducive to me, and then I sang over it and Youtubed it, warts and all.
Â
Â
Enjoy the weather. Spring is soon here.
