Good morning, everyone!
What a chilly day it was yesterday. It wasn't just me - Dad in Herts and John (brother) in the Borders also had their heating on yesterday. In August!!
After all the shopping I mentioned yesterday, putting it all away, generally getting sorted out, etc, I snuggled down in my recliner chair wrapped in my owl fleece and, as expected, promptly dozed off. It was much needed after a poor night's sleep.
The curtains were drawn early, I lit a few candles and had a lovely, lazy evening.
This morning I set aside the summer dressing gown and I'm wrapped up in my warm, winter one so there's no need for the heating. Beeb weather says a maximum of 16C and a moderate breeze which isn't great for summer but I'll keep busy and there should be no need for the heating, fingers crossed.
I don't have a lot of plans. I'm going to a precinct to get one or two specific things but the rest of the day is for homey things, sorting out piles of clutter, making sure the kitchen stays in an acceptable state and generally preparing for the week to come. I have a little bit of planning, both tuition and meal so I'll get that done and dusted today.
A bit of a nothing day really but that's OK. There's always something to do and I found a Kindle copy of Lark Rise to Candleford, an old favourite for decades so I can always immerse myself in the doings of Laura and her family.
Have a good day and be warm, safe and happy. xx
It is still October here so where is this heat wave?
ReplyDeleteGoodness knows although BBC thinks it might stagger up into the low 20s at some point soon.

I've been heating the living room for the last two evenings. It's either that or sit there shivering! I'm hoping it warms up this week as it's the start of my staycation and I won't want to go out if it's chilly.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar day to you, although just recipe hunting and meal planning for me with a bit of sorting cupboards thrown in the mix. It will be as busy as I choose to make it - I like days like this xx
I do hope it does - we usually get some nice, warm weather in September so fingers crossed.
DeleteDays like this are nice, aren't they. No pressures.

It's a lovely day here but there is a freshness in the air. Driving up the valley this morning I noticed that the bracken is turning brown, which is a sure sign autumn is nearly upon us. X
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? There are signs all around, when we look for them. I do love autumn - the colours are amazing.

You sound very cozy and happy. I have been lighting candles and using my alpaca throw, too. In the early morning I change into my flannel nightgown. The air is getting much cooler at night. I like how the days are shortening...
ReplyDeleteMe too - there's something about drawing the curtains against the encroaching darkness and opening them again to welcome the light that is inexpressibly cosy and comforting. I miss the longer days once summer is over but I love the longer nights too.

The concentration of salicylic acid used in most over the counter skin care products is very gentle, although it can still be drying and irritating for some people especially for the first week or two, as the skin adjusts to the treatment. To reduce your chances of experiencing these side effects, use salicylic acid products only as directed (don't wash your face more than twice a day, for example), and make sure you're not doubling up on multiple products (like a face wash and an acne cream) that both contain the ingredient. If this does not help, your doctor may suggest that you use salicylic acid products less frequently, or pair them with more gentle treatments..
