The Wheel is Turning
Di Ardaoin, 23 An Dubhlachd 2004
A new year has dawned, and I am bloody glad to see the back of the old one. It has been a nightmare. Of course, things don’t just change because of a new number, but I do feel a bit more removed from the situtation than before. As the years pass, hopefully I’ll forget her.
Saw a beautiful sunrise this morning, with half of the sun peeping above the sea. The Wheel is turning.

New Year’s Eve

It’s New Year’s Eve, in the solar calendar. Winter Solstice was early this afternoon, so the days should start to get longer now, although it will be a little while before it is noticeable. Tomorrow is the first day of Yule 1561.
