Off for xmas

It was a nice day today. I wandered home from uni this afternoon over Blackford Hill. The weather was generally clear, and sunny; I wore nothing on top of my T-Shirt, and didn't regret it for a second. A cool breeze, but not bitingly cold, it was quite warm today, particularly in the sun and out of the wind.

People in hats and gloves and big coats still look at you funny when you walk around in a t-shirt in December. Even if it's a warm day... Hopefully we'll get some wintry weather soon, though, and get some snow and ice on the hills...

Standing on top of Blackford Hill, it was very clear to the South (sun in my eyes of course), and clearish to the East (North Berwick Law and Bass Rock appearing clear). Looking North, the Lomonds were visible but hazy; and casting my gaze over to the look for the Ochils, I see a dark sky, the merest suggestion of hills sketched in the murky grayness.

Off up that way tomorrow to my Mum's for a few days... Away I go. A Merry Christmas or suchlike to you all, and hopefully I'll be back before the New Year.
