It does. I suspect the random but short lived heatwaves have emphasized the difference between the dark and the light. Which is what Beethoven tried to do in his later sonatas. But I digress. 
You do indeed ā¦ did he live in Scotland then?

Nope. IIRC, Mendelssohn (who was alive around the same time as Beethoven) did pop over to Scotland, and ended up composing Fingalās Cave.
We are way off topic now. Itās your fault 
I never knew that and no, weāre not off topic. Not really.

Fingalās Cave is an amazing place. Got a photo of me there from a few years ago. Before my health went nuts. Will try and find it.

Mendelssohn also wrote the well known wedding March.
Evening, Another dark day here really getting sick of this, not even bothered to get dressed today.
Both of us have been hanging about the house, Dunc saw to the horses and sheep early on but canāt do anything else thanks to the weather. Heās out at the stables just now giving the Clydes their supper and hay bags and closing them in for the night.
God, Iām soooooo bloody bored. I hate Winter with a vengeance

You ever tried those SAD lights? Supposed to help counter the effect of long winter nights a bit. I recall that they use them at the poles when itās dark for months on end which can lead to fatigue and depression for some people.

Me too ā¦ I never used to. I used to think of winter as warm, snug and cosy but now winters are so wet, dismal and grey.

No Dex never needed one before. Since I lost Dageus I donāt go out so much, I used to walk him for a couple of hours a day, that doesnāt happen any more and I think Iām going to have to do something about it. I was always outside in all weathers, since last May and this heart problem started my whole life has changed and I need to get it changed back.

Early days Rox. Until you find a new reason to get out and about more, perhaps itās worth a few quid on a tech solution in the interim?

I suppose itās because Iām so active Morty, so hate sitting around the place putting on weight and getting lazy. Not good for me at all. Going back to the pool in the new year. I go Monday to Friday, but Iāll have to build up to it again.

Morning. Cold and foggy here this morning, so wont be going to far. Started writing cards out and want to get them posted sometime todayā¦ May are you ok, havenāt seen you posting for a while.
Morning, Blimey itās cold, we had a heavy frost last night, this sort of cold crisp day was grand for walking Dageus and staying clean. Often followed by a bright aurora in the evening.
Jess, May said something about having a break again.
Might take a run over to the beach later today.
