A good book and autumn leaves ... Wednesday 9th Oct


 

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.
