I decide to get an early start with delivering the
weekly papers today, and apart from a quick rain shower it’s a pleasant, if
breezy, early autumn morning. I get home in time to grab the washing in off the
line just as another rain shower hits. Five minutes later it’s stopped, and I
wonder whether to hang the washing back out. This becomes a running theme throughout
the day, and I find myself putting the same washing in and out all afternoon.
The additional problem is the wind that is now blowing is dropping not only the
leaves off the trees, but also small seeds that find their way through the back
door every time I open it. This means I spend a lot of time sweeping up.
I sit down with a nice cup of coffee or two, and finish
the book I’ve been reading. The sun is coming in the window and it’s a pleasant
hour. I’ve enjoyed the book and it’s been left open at the end for a follow-up
which is something to look forward to.
I spend the rest of the afternoon sorting out old
paperwork, stuff that really can be disposed of, doing the ironing (eventually the washing got dried) and getting
tea on the table. As my leg has recovered I join Mrs P for an evening stroll.
The leaves are coming down and make a satisfying crunch under our feet, autumn
has arrived.
Yours reading for pleasure.
Jay
