Bit of a chill here got up and thought it will soon be time to turn on the heating leaving it for as long as possible though.
The sun is shining brightly and I am going blackberry picking with my sister in some woods.

It is cold, feels really late autumny here, and misty too.

I am ashamed to say we have had our heeting on last few mornings, BUT as we have had so many trade in they always leave the doors open and the new open plan layout... gets COLD!

it's 12 degrees outside this morning, 18 deg inside, a lovely sunny day too, hopefully i might manage to get my lawn mowed today, as it's currently about a foot high

i did put the fire on for about half an hour last night, which is the first time in months, going to get my sofa blanket out tonight, keep the fires off as long as possible.

Its lovely here, really warm - a beautiful day until some idiot pulled out in front of my car on the way to school/work, both cars smashed up and i have a very sore neck and headache. The only good thing is my lovely daughter is ok, both get a day off though

I had to pull up the pumpkin plants from the bottom of the garden the other day because they had frost damage

Well, I think that is what it was. All the leaves had wilted and gone dark green and looked frosted to me.

I thought I was having a visitation this morning, and was just about to renounce my views on religion - when I realised it was just the sun shining through the bathroom window and into the bedroom.

Amazing and beautiful.

ETA: Coomber; that's rotten; be very careful about doing too much until you are better as those injuries can come back for years afterwards.
