Misty morning.

After the rainy skies last night it was a rather lovely and subtle sunset.

I had a begonia that had got so long that it was in danger of making the pot fall over. What Mike was up we got a stake and were carefully trying to prop it up. we thought we had succeeded and then noticed that it had come adrift at the base! I had that tall, slowly dying plant on the landing for a couple of weeks or more and then decided it was time to bin it. I must add that we did push the stem back into the soil but without much conviction. Well, this plant wasn't ready to give up the ghost and has sprouted again, I removed most of the original growth.

This morning Darren and I set off for the boot sale, the weather forecast had said it would be fine which was a little off the mark. The mist in the valley was fabulous but couldn't really take any pictures until we actually arrived.

That did clear but the rain persisted, so it was a small sale and many sellers had plastic sheets over their wares. I did get a cushion, which Darren spotted, I had said I wanted one as Tina had asked me if I could make one of her old college t shirts into a cushion cover. More of that later. I also got a nice little stool for when I got sketching, for £1.50, this one is a bit bigger that the ones I have had before, ample enough to accommodate by backside! And a little otter plate for 50p.

The grass was going yellow on some blades, call me odd if you like, but I thought it looked good.

At one point there was a rainbow, which made up for being wet and a bit cold!

When we got home I fed the Christmas cakes, I made them slightly later this year so want to ekkp to weekly feeds if I can.
Tina had given me a t shirt to re-cycle as I said. I worked on it before I went down to get dinner and finished it off when I came back up. The cushion we found was just the right size and Tina is happy with the result.

The rain has never been that far away today and it is feeling distinctly autumnal, although it is supposed to get a bit warmer as the week goes on. Strike tonight.
