I have been glued all day to the TV watching the rescue of the Chilean miners, remarkable scenes and wonderful stories. I was in Chile in 2001 and it is a great country, these people working together are showing the rest of the world how its done - brilliant!

Grey day

Its a cosy day today, grey and rainy outside, I'm stuck indoors anyway waiting for the gas man so why not make the most of it?!

I love autumn, it is my favourite season even on a day like this, still warm enough to be comfortable during the day, chilly at night, great things astronomically and the prospect of winter creeping in where everything shuts down for a rest in the natural world. Time to stock up on tea and enjoy it.
Have a good day folks.

Cold but pretty.

Tonight that is, the moon looks great shining through the clouds and the cold just makes it feel more wintry which I actually like! We did break out the cosy blanket last night and have dusted off the oil radiator, tomorrow I will hoover the gas fires so they don't smell too much of dust when we turn them on! Anyway, I have to be up in the morning so shall fight my night time wakefulness and try to get some sleep, hope you are well dear reader and I'll update again soon.

Industrious.

So far today I have done a load of washing, made flapjacks AND two fruit cakes...just had to document it as it doesn't happen often! Blogs are brill.

Anyway, hope you are all well, on to proper work now - see my other blog www.rehome-a-book.blogspot.com for details!

Home.

Well, I'm back, had a smashing week as always in Scotland, saw dolphins! We had a couple of stormy days but generally walked lots and saw many types of bird and wildlife, going in spring next time as it's been a while since we went then.
Anyway, back to work-mode with a vengeance, my washing machine is working very hard, I need more coffee.
Catch you later!

It had better be worth it..

The holiday I mean, it had better be worth the STRESS before going away...food for the boyf, food for the pets, have I packed what I need, will he remember to do the bins next week? Sod it, I'm gone!

Anyway, I shall write on my return with news of the wonder that is the Isle of Mull, I go every year for walking, birds and quiet, no computer, no mobile signal, there is a phone box...if it's working...
Take care. X

Beautiful day

It is stunning outside now that the sun has burned the fog away, I love waking up on a misty morning but the freshness that follows is brilliant. Must go out and enjoy it later!

It is International Literacy Day today, I have written about it on my business blog which you can find HERE.

Right, more tea then onwards to productivity!
