It's autumn and we've slowed down a bit. That said Son No 2 is coming over for the weekend as it's his birthday, and hot on his heels will be my sister visiting for a few days. And there are a couple of other things on the calendar for November too. But it's not action packed like the summer was.
Her's a bit of a catch up on some gentle days since we got back from Glasgow.
We went for another walk in our local woodland, choosing a different path and coming across part of the Devon river which was much fuller and free flowing than we have seen it previously.
We went up to the independent book shop in Dollar one afternoon. We didn't buy any books but treated ourselves to coffee and cake.
mines the plain lemon drizzle at the front. Just so you know.
I did a jigsaw puzzle
which, along with two others and a few bits and pieces we took to the charity shop for the local cat shelter. We also visited the cat shelter, donated some money and some food, and said we were pleased to help but not in the market for a cat. I think possibly we are in the market for a cat to be honest but possibly not until after Christmas. And it will need to be The Right Cat.
And I had some Happy Mail
I got 20% off because they are preparing to publish Knitted Kalevala III in the not too distant future. I already have Volume I but I think overall this one is better i.e. there are more patterns in there that I wold like to knit.
I baked a cake. This was good of me as I do not like the ovens in our new kitchen and only the reflection that if I don't bake I will never get used to them gets me anywhere near my baking tins these days.
So there you go. Quietly domestic days.
