Weekend

 Trying still to reduce stuff....but then the book looks back at you and you think...Hi, friend.... can't get rid of you!!

Bit by bit, though, weeding out those that I won't use or read any more.

Bert/Caetano has been charging around all weekend, sometimes with added rain...it was officially 10⁰ and lunchtime...with a fierce windchill and savage gusts.

Draught excluding snakes have gone down ..but there is that ankle biter of a draught that gets ankles when you sit on the sofa....still haven't worked out where that one is from...I know where it goes to!

Much chatting on messenger and WhatsApp... including a friend who is having a little tiki tour around before heading to a friend's wedding at Te Anau. He was asking what places to go see.

Then Pirate's great niece in Kent with some good news.

It does break the alone-ness, which I find a hard thing.


4pm this afternoon, with the clouds scudding along.

I did a big book culling this summer and donated several boxes to little libraries in my area. But it didn't seem to make much of a dent in my bookcase. . . .

Oh that is a great photo.
I know what you mean about the draught. I have a humdinger wrapping itself around my neck like a scarf.

Winter weather makes it hard for people to meet up, and if there is no one at home, it would be difficult NOT to feel isolated. Imagine what it was like before computers and social media. We've got a pesky little draft sneaking around as well, and it seems to be ankle height at my couch. I love my wool socks!

Blogs and social media help to make connections and I am glad they both exist. Once Spring returns, everybody will be ready to meet and greet.
It is chilly but the sun is shining. The Winter layer dressing has definitely begun.
