The colourless sunset has left a midnight blue afterglow on the horizon where it meets the hills. Below it the lights in the windows twinkle in the blackness.

The wind gusts occasionally against the rain flecked window of my living room.

I hate Sundays but I appreciate its stillness this evening!

The snow has gone now from the hills around St Dogs. Under a clear November sky the distant fields look damp and heavy. There's little wind today, Y Ddraig Goch barely flutters. The trees around the verdigris bell tower are bare now, except for an avenue of evergreens nearby.

Late afternoon. A lead grey sky sits heavily above the snow covered hills. The room is cold. I go and make a cup of coffee. When I return to the living room, night has already fallen. The hills are invisible now; just the lights in distant windows, shining in the blackness like stars.

Yesterday's cloudless crystal blue skies are replaced with the more familiar grey. Outside, the streets are wet and the passing dogwalkers have their hoods up. Inside, the room is dark and grey but I don't want to turn the light on at 9 am, there is something depressingly dreary about that.

Day 33: Cerys Hafana - Cilgerran (2022; UK)

Originally on her 2022 album 'Edyf', this is a live version from the 2023 Lleisiau Eraill Aberteifi (Other Voices Cardigan) festival, because watching her play the Welsh triple harp is captivating.

My living room is filled with a strange twilight. From the south-facing window, in a yellow sky, a large group of geese fly towards the Irish sea; below, the traffic is starting to build, ruining the scene with its annoying noise and lights.

A cold rainy morning. The town and hills are obscured by mist. From the living room window, I can see as far as the school which is around 300 metres away. The weather says it's going to rain until Wednesday week. Ugh.

Tea, beetroot crackers with Wensleydale and gherkins for breakfast.

Calan Gaeaf: the late-afternoon sky is streaked with long cirrus clouds; at sunset they are obscured by their darkening cumulus cousins. The light fails quickly and the room suddenly feels cold and depressingly colourless; turning the lamp on only seems to add to the evening's dreariness.

Hallowe'en, colourless sunset. In the dusk, little witches, devils, and ghosts begin to gather; later, in the kitchen, as I carve my neep lantern, their disembodied voices come eerily through the vent as they pass the house.

For a few minutes the low sun sets light to the autumn mist obscuring the hills in a yellow sea.

Up at 5 am. In the cold living room, I have a breakfast of tea, and caraway crackers with cheese and sauerkraut.

Outside, it is still night. The streets are quiet. I like this time.

The boy cat appears next to me and all I can see in the darkness are his glowing eyes.

Grey dusk. Little patches of pale yellow sky can be seen on the horizon to the south where there are breaks in the lines of grey-blue clouds near the land. The hills and mountains are black but for the odd house or farm, and a tractor, whose flashing amber beacon, cuts across a hillside.

The bluey dawn brings the rain.

The morning traffic is increasing and the sound of the cars on wet tarmac grates on my nerves.

A shadowless afternoon. The Pembrokeshire hills feel closer; the fields and trees have a strange clarity. The evening brings low grey clouds and ruins this phenomenon, returning the hills to a suitable hazy distance.
