Yet another new week starts. This year is racing along so quickly now that it's blink and you miss a week. Yesterday was one of those days you wouldn't want to miss though - not warm but gloriously bright and sunny and very, very cheering. Just a beautiful autumnal day with still enough leaves on the trees to provide rich, shining colour. One of those day that totally contradicts the poet, Thomas Hood.
No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
November!
I am looking forward to today. I'm at my parents' right now but will be whizzing home because Alex is home from university and will be coming round for lunch. I gather he lives on typical student fare so I will be boiling a ham and making a roast dinner - a bbq sauce, roasties, roast parsnips and, probably, broccoli or peas. No dessert though - we both have to stay awake in the afternoon, after all. And he will be taking what's left back with him too. 😃
Should be good!
Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI have recently been thinking about how different November has been this year. Usually long dark days, we have been blessed with blue sky and sunshine....until this week! X
I agree. Maybe that's why there are still so many leaves (comparatively) still on the trees round here until this weekend.

You sound better but hope you didn't overdo the roasties.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see Alex. You'll get a better idea of how he is doing.
I think all students find the first term tough.
Where we live it is very isolated and some of our school leavers find all the
business of a city completely alien to begin with.
Hope you had a wide awake afternoon together! Sue
Hi, Sue. I have to blush about the roastie - see today's entry! Yes, it was very nice to see Al and have a chat over dinner.
