I’m not a fan so fill in whichever bad, glum, miserable or boring word you can think of, and you pretty much have my views today. Normally a super optimistic soul, my melatonin is definitely tipping into the lowest levels. And spending an hour or two making sure there are no things which can blow away (like I suspect my plastic trugs have done) and picking up two more greenhouse panels that have shattered I’m feeling Storm Isha has already been and gone when it’s actually due in a couple of hours time!

The fire is lit and feeling toasty. And I think an afternoon nap is calling.

We did get out already with R going round the common and meeting and chatting with other dogs and their humans. We came home to a waffle-making factory in the kitchen which even the dog got in on with a waffle slathered with dog-friendly peanut butter. Amazing what you can get these days!

Wind is howling…
