Evening/morning to you all. Everyone busy with work or doing things. Good.
It's Tuesday 5.45 a.m here, and oh boy it has gone so COLD. Totally overcast with strong winds yesterday (
mostly "today" for you ) and we had to be out and about in it. Took most of day just to track down a spring for broken door handle! Such a simple item, but handle is now out of production....of course!
Temp just managed to get to 13 degrees, which isn't bad but the wind made it seem colder.
The streets looked so different to last week, with most of the beautiful leaves blown hither and thither. What a difference the sunshine makes to our lives and after so many days of constantly lovely autumn weather, this has come as a bit of a shock. So glad we made the most of every day and went out for drives around district.
I am sitting here with first cuppa of the day, and can hear the wind whistling round the house, and rain pattering on the windows. Thankful that we now have this smaller home, which is so easy to heat with cosy gas heater (with flue fitted to make sure there's no fumes). Gives off such a nice glow AND we don't have to chop and cart in wood, much as we love a nice open fire.
Smaller home is fine...am getting adjusted to it, but really miss the bigger garden, and all the lovely flowers I had growing. Being factual, it sure was hard work keeping it in good order, even with help. We look at the photos of it, and think "Good grief....how the heck did we do all that!!".
I'm sure most of us could do a small book of "Gardens we have loved". Am happy we had that last big one to think back on.
Just peeped out through blinds....not a glimmer of light in sky and c-c-c-c-o-o-o-old. Hmmmm....going back to bed for another hour
Delighted to hear that things are still coming back normal. Let's keep it that way.
