Saturday 26 September Autumn and winter are the seasons of hibernation. Nature winds down to sleep out the cold and dark times. My blog is going to do something similar. I have decided that I will do a weekly entry covering a full seven days on each one, unless something dramatic occurs of course. 2pmContinue reading “Day 190”

Day 189
Friday 25 September It’s a very Autumnal day today and it’s going to be a very short post. The Coronavirus numbers are heading in the wrong direction. It’s hard work at the moment. The wind is blowing – I came home and went outside to fix a blown out panel from the greenhouse. The temperatureContinue reading “Day 189”
Day 188
Thursday 24 September Just a couple of days after the Autumn equinox and the weather has turned. On Sunday I spent a few hours in the hot sunshine getting a bronzed face and head in the process. Today the sky was thick with showery rain with allday precipitation. Only crows and rooks on my driveContinue reading “Day 188”
Day 187
Wednesday 23 September Although I have started refereeing again on a Sunday, I am missing the walks I would be doing with the Gentleman’s Film & Leisure Club. Sadly, I need an additional day in the weekend. I love packing my backpack, getting my boots on and researching the route beforehand. The preparation is allContinue reading “Day 187”
Day 186
Tuesday 22 September Tension is certainly growing across the country. Some people are getting more anxious, others more critical and frustrated. The prime minister has been on the telly again this evening to address the nation. The last time he did this was to update us in the middle of it all in May. BeforeContinue reading “Day 186”
Day 185
Monday 21 September It is getting harder to write this blog. Since returning to work I could fill each day with what has happened or popped in my head. I do see the occasional flash of wildlife but it’s mainly work stuff. Despite the fact that mother nature is doing her ablutions before getting readyContinue reading “Day 185”
Day 184
Sunday 20 September I heard the Little Owl this evening! I have seen it only once over the whole summer and haven’t heard it at all. During the world cup a couple of summers back I saw or heard it every evening as I took a walk after each game. Of course, I say ‘the’Continue reading “Day 184”
Day 183
Saturday 19 September 8.45am Lisa has just brought me a cup of coffee and I have woken this morning with a few things already clear in my head. I don’t think they are linked to anything subconsciously that I may have been dreaming about. But they are worthy of me writing down. First, the HummingContinue reading “Day 183”
Day 182
Friday 18 September Morning. This blog is a real weather vane for how I am feeling. The past few days I have been increasingly tired and world weary. I am not a worrier, but recently I have worried about worldly things, local things and people I care about. The virus, the natural world, the generalContinue reading “Day 182”
Day 181
Thursday 17 September This blog has taken a few twists and turns since I began writing it back in March. As we move into a new season, it is clear to me that the big world affects my little world. At times I have tried to resist it, push the angst and frustration away, thinkingContinue reading “Day 181”
