Stormy night...

Sitting at the computer listening to the wind howl and the rain lash against the windows...feels like November or something! Still technically summer though so here's hoping it will pass soon, although it rained on St Swithen's day so it is said we will have another 40 days of the same...great! Hoping for at least no wind at the weekend as I am trading at a local festival in my gazebo...not good in a gust.

Anyway folks, hope you are well, I shall go and do some work! X

A lovely - but drunken eve!

That's what last night was, many friends and lots of wine at our local, one of those nights where everyone is on good form. Ended up with just one friend on our sofa - the benefit of living in town and staggering distance of the pub... As a night person I have no problem with staying up past closing time, but the others seem to be a bit ropey right now. Ha!

My meeting with my long-lost friend went very nicely, caught up with the gossip on mutual acquaintances and drank a lot of coffee!

Anyway, must get on with some work, have a good afternoon/evening folks. x

So excitied

Morning all, hope you are well. I am so excited as tomorrow I am meeting up with a friend that I haven't seen for YEARS (17 ish), he was my best mate at school and even though a lot of time has passed, life experiences, kids, travels, we have kept in touch and are still as daft as we were then. Can not wait! Will let you know how it goes.

ISS

Looking out of my window at 1.20am as I often do and I was lucky enough to catch the International Space Station flying overhead, beautiful clear night for once and eerily silent, a few minutes later and it is long gone somewhere over the far east - mind-boggling! I do like my night life.

Night walk

Hi, just had a lovely night walk back from a friend's house, totally quiet, fragrant too - roses, honeysuckle and mown grass, just beautiful. Just the lightest of breezes to cool things down a bit, supposed to be hotter again tomorrow though - boo. Anyway, onwards with some work!

Loud night in Ludlow

I am aware that for some reason football turns normally sane people into fighting, shouting idiots but last night was ridiculous. At one point I felt like shouting out of my window to the group of shrieking women outside the pub up the road to either get on with killing each other or kindly move along...thought better of it though.

The problem with being up during the night is that for a lot of it - especially at the weekend - the peace is gone until about 2am, after that I can enjoy my time a bit more until I go to bed in the early hours, btw the dawn chorus started at about 3.30am this morning I think, beautiful!

Thunder!

Yesterday we had the most amazing thunder storm. It went dark and humid then the rumblings began, then the flashes of lightening, then torrential rain - and I mean torrential! I feel empowered by a good storm, the smell and energy in the air, the freshness afterwards all add up to my favourite kind of weather, closely followed by snow, at least I have a weather-love for winter and summer!
Anyway, with the cooler air I have found it easier to work, washing done, ironing left to do though, off to cook tea now before sitting down with Springwatch later.
