Getting ready for winter

Today, we've been shifting things over to winter mode: the bird feeders are filled, the parasol and clothes line are put away, the conservatory's been tidied and rearranged so that it can be used if we have a sunny day. This despite the fact that it is still stupidly warm: GB's having to wear his hat in the field, and I've been walking the dog in just a thin t-shirt!
We also had a bonfire: we went out to take a few more leylandii down, but then I realised that the wind was (finally!) just right, so we also burnt the previously chopped stuff. We've already started the new pile, at least partly because when we went to throw some of the old pile onto the fire we realised that some of it was too heavy and will have to be moved into place when the ash has cooled down. The forecast looks favourable to have another fire on Saturday, so I might see if Next Door want to stick anything on while we're at it.
Mike made a video, which I apparently can't embed because DW keeps changing the code that Vine gave me into something else that doesn't work. Link.
I seem not to have posted for a few days, not sure why. I've mostly been sewing:
(Esme is sewn, but not yet on a cushion. She was much fiddlier, on account of having more curves.)
Also vague Christmas plotting (and making of cards), and a bit of a breakthrough last time I was on the Baby: he's finally figured out that the bit is for playing with, so he's starting to work through his back; very pleased with that, although I'll have to remember to keep it to short bursts until he muscles up. |
