Last evening as soon as it went dark there were fireworks popping and fizzing around and about for the celebration of Diwali. This morning we have sunshine and have been for a local walk. I have washing drying outside flapping in the breeze. Wheelie bins were emptied early so we could fetch them in before our walk. Today was the last collection of garden waste until next Spring so the bin will be washed out and put away.
Below are some glorious Autumn Trees spotted on yesterday's walk. Leaves crunching underfoot, fungi growing through the fallen leaves and a Walnut tree.
There was a partial eclipse of the sun today sometime between 10a.m. and noon. We were out walking but didn't sense anything different. The winter sun seemed low as usual, I always struggle to see in winter sunlight. I remember a few years ago we saw a partial eclipse in Wales, the birds went quiet and the light faded slightly, we watched it with our backs to the sun, reflected through a hastily constructed pin hole camera made from cardboard.
Apparently it's world pasta day today. I didn't know, did you?
