Nina's Blog - Tuesday 30th December 2025

Tuesday 30th December 2025, 12:23

Feeling well enough for a stroll to the post office to post a couple of parcels. Dressed in my thickest tights and a nice warm jumper (knitted for my late wife by my mother-in-law).

Here's the outfit

Of course I'll have a coat, hat, scarf, and gloves on when I go out. And I'd better get going because it's already two minutes after solar noon and the sun has started to go down from the giddy height of seven degrees above the horizon!

Entirely fortuitously I've just discovered @TheRealBarbossa. Formerly known as @SW-User and before that @SW-User. I was worried that perhaps something untoward had happened, glad to know he's alright.

@TheRealBarbossa No need to apologize; you have your own life to live. But thank you for the info, it'll save me from worrying if you go offline again. :-)

I've added alternate ways of contacting me to my profile About. Of course no one ever reads it so it probably doesn't really matter :-)

@ninalanyon I'm not on insta, but sending you a gmail now so you have that adress.


I usually only use it for spam mail, but I check it once in a while, so it's better than nothing.

@TheRealBarbossa Got it, thank you! Mine doesn't get used much either and luckily the spammers don't seem to have noticed it. My 'official' male persona email on the other hand gets spam by the bucket load :-(

The shadows are long even at midday here at this time of the year. These pictures were taken between 12:40 and 12:48 about twenty minutes after solar noon.

Look how long the shadows of the apple trees are


As i walked past a bus stop I noticed something attached with a zip tie. On closer inspection it was a ziploc bag with a label saying that it contained a crocheted headband and a note asking whoever wanted it could have it. And it asked that the find be reported on the Random acts of crochet Norway on Facebook..

Here you can see how low the sun is

And here is my own shadow

@ninalanyon Lovely low sunlight in clear air, but.... cold!

Smart outfit.
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@ArishMell Thank you!

But cold? It's supposed to be much colder, it was about -1 C. And thirty years ago at this time of year there would have been snow covering everything by this time of year.

Almost the end of the year so it seems natural to wonder about random statistics. I've just checked my records for selling and giving away things since I got back to Norway in October. It turns out that I have sold 50 items and given away 27

But I still have 150 listed on the sales platform and plenty that I still haven't advertised.

Here's the outside part of the outfit


The coat is lined with dense teddy bear fur and felt perfect for the weather and my slightly feeble condition.
