The cloud and mist have been sweeping backwards and forwards all day on the back of a brisk wind, affording the occasional glimpse of a pale blue sky but mostly shrouding everything in grey. So when we set off at about 10 to 4, the latest this year,it was gloomy,nay,quite dreich even, as they say in these parts. By the time we were coming back down the hill,the mist had descended again and the gates had set up an eerie wailing in the rising wind, the whole landscape thus transformed into the setting for dastardly deeds of one kind or another.
Ah well, as one doughty old philosopher-farmer once pointed out stocially, "It is February." Indeed.
Meanwhile, book of the month is Nobody by Marc Lamont-Hill:not what you`d call an easy read but is informative, informed and a bit of a mind-blower. Includes a telling and currently significant examination of the notion of running a country as if it`s a business. Required reading in fact. :)
