Blogtober - Day Seventeen

It's a beautiful sunny day today.  We were up early this morning to collect a prescription from the chemist, followed by a quick whip around the nearby supermarket for a few needed items and then home for coffee and the crossword.  We do half at coffee break and finish it during lunch.  Washing is drying outside and Paul has mown some of the grass whilst I've cleaned the inside windows and mirrors upstairs.  We are trying to do as much mowing and trimming in the garden as we can as next week is the last garden bin collection until next April.

Some of the grass is mown.  The grass at the very top of the garden is too wet to mow at the moment.

The garden is looking Autumnal now.

The drying and fading Hydrangea heads are such a lovely soft colour now hard to imagine in Summer they were bright blue.

A few Cosmos flowers are still bravely waving in the breeze.

and a lone Nerine has decided to flower at the last minute.  The others never flowered this year.
 
I'm going to settle down now and read a little, hoping not to drop to sleep even though the book I'm reading is quite gripping.  I will write about books I have been reading in a few days time.
