Sunday and it was a wet one

Out with D at a reasonable time wet to start with then just very damp. Set the tone for the whole day damp and wet. Made fully weeds easy but not pleasant to work in and I spent most of the time under cover.

No painting today and only an hour or so of gardening clearing all the Nasturtiums as then are now running rampant and choking many of the other plants. This year there have been four different colours but they are now on the compost ready to provide nutrients back to the earth later in the new year. One of the small rose bushes is still budding despite the hard frost last week. How the trees have changed as more leaves fall and others change colour, although some of the Beech hedges still show green.

The car should be gone this week and then one of the tribe is going to go out with the boss to remember what they had learnt about clutch control, a couple of years ago. Odd how learning to drive a car at first is a problem, I guess three pedals and a gear stick and steering wheel all inside a box in motion can be quite scary. Me I find long drives boring especially as I cannot lay down because of the vibration from the back wheels in the MPV that we have.

I now have to settle into the routine again. Just when I was getting used to going at 3 or 4 times on walks in fields with lush green grass and not noise save the birds and the odd bee out collecting nectar from the last of the clover flowers. This week will be a little different until we get past the hour change in the time from summer to winter setting. Odd really as I thought it was all to help with the harvest during the war?

Well time to run, or just amble as I am off home now as it is getting dark by 5 o'clock and I smell cooking, which means food.
