'Tis the season of spiders' webs, as well as mists and mellow fruitfulness.

I had to pop back to the charity shop this morning to retrieve my water bottle. I didn't fancy leaving it there until next week, it might've got sold! Then to Go Outdoors to buy more walking socks as my old ones are, well, old.

Lunch, a bit of weeding of the drive... but more still needed, and then my son and girlfriend arrived for their dinner. Good to see them, as always.

I'm astounded at how quickly my face is looking better, with one skin layer already peeled - I'm not sure if a second layer's got to go as well though.

This evening there's been a to and fro of emails relating to an AAC meet in Patterdale in a few weeks.
