Hasn't it turned chilly. My heating is clicking on intermittently and the hoodies are in regular use. I even wore socks to bed (very cosy) last night. I gather some places have had frost so I am counting my blessings!
There's nothing particularly exciting in my life right now. The days roll past with all the usual things and I am trying to ignore as much as possible all the bad thoughts and deeds swirling around the world right now. When I say 'ignore' I don't mean not accepting that they are happening, that wouldn't be right at all. I guess I mean not letting them chain me down in a pit of fear. Easier said than done at times.
Today, being Sunday is bread day. Lindsey's sourdough is resting before it gets kneaded and then I will pop Beth's yeasted bread in without washing the pot so not a scrap of sourdough gets wasted. :-)
I've goofed a bit and, after my Oddbox delivery, I have more fruit than I know what to do with. I've stewed some plums already. Pears stew quite nicely too, don't they? And I am sure Beth will gladly take some off my hands too.
Right, well, the sourdough has rested so I'd better go and carry on. Have a lovely Sunday and stay warm. xx
I met my friend for coffee and chat yesterday. We made a point of finding good/nice things to talk about and remained cheerful! Have a lovely day Joy. Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteGood for you. We have to make it happen! Chris and I are the same - we chat about small, friendly, happy things that light up our lives. xx
DeleteHow your opening lines resonated with me Joy.
ReplyDeleteWe had frost very early but now it’s beautifully sunny.
I’ve been doing a bit more garden clearing up, when it’s finished the bulbs can be planted.

I was sunny here too bit, like Saturday, the rain arrived in the afternoon. xx
DeleteWe’re now having frosty weather in the mornings and thank goodness our boiler was fixed yesterday afternoon- ever has a pre bed bath felt so luxurious. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for that. Just in time. xx
DeleteI think we had a little frost this morning and the days are cooler now but I do love the rich colours of Autumn. Sounds like you have plenty of fruit to enjoy in crumbles., pies and just stewed. I'm sure you will think of something delicious to make and Beth can enjoy some with you too. Happy breadmaking day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do too - I love those autumn colours and smells. So evocative. xx
DeleteOrdinary is underrated. It sounds like life is ticking along quite nicely for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's been very chilly for several mornings this past week. It's always a shock the first time I have to defrost the windscreen. X
I haven't had to yet but I have my screen cover at the ready.
DeleteYes, I guess life is really. Teaching was full of ups and downs, many of which were out of my control, so it is nice to have so much autonomy over my life now. Some people go for exciting adventures - me, I like quiet things that I call 'adventures'. :-) xx
