Autumn

All of a sudden, it seems to be autumn. The trees are turning, the foliage on the squash is starting to die back, the polytunnel needs to be closed at night, I've put away my linen trousers, and Bob and I are curled up on the sofa under a quilt.
I've got lots of autumn jobs that I need to start doing, but probably not today. Yesterday, I had a stomach/abdominal ache that got steadily worse until Mike put me in the car to take me to Minor Injuries, at which point it started getting better. The nurse thinks it's just a bad stomach bug, but I'm still sore enough this morning that my "I'll see if I'm up to riding" experiment lasted about three steps before I got back off and handed Benny over to Mike.
On the plus side, yesterday we also (finally) had the new shutters fitted in out bedroom. They look good, and do indeed make it lovely and dark in there (and it's nice to have finally finished decorating!). I'm a bit concerned that we woke up to middle-of-winter levels of condensation on the insides of the windows this morning, though. Today was fine, because I could just open the shutters and windows to dry things out, but that's not really going to be practical when it gets properly cold. We'll see what happens. |
