I went outside last night just to see if anything was going on as I had heard there might be some aurora activity.

There was a bit but also a massive non-moving cloud was in the way. Dammit. Push off, please.

After standing on the compost heap in my dressing gown (post-bath) and OH’s cut-down wellies, I got fed up and feeling rather cold I went inside knowing there was much more going on behind the immoveable cloud but I wasn’t going to see it.

This morning was quiet and peaceful.  It is lovely waking up to no wind and rain.

Just the sound of the waves from the distant sea, the birds singing and the quiet munch, munch, munch of everyone eating their breakfast.

It is a very calming sound, until Kolka finishes and goes on a raid.

Today really has been a glorious autumnal day – with no wind, but very occasional drizzle.

I can’t pretend I did anything different from my usual day – wool-felting sheep  a.m. and then wool-felting sheep p.m.  Poo-pick, haynets out, write the blog…. and then I will cook supper, finish the last sheep of the day, get the real sheep home, put the ducks and hens to bed.

Boring?  Yes, but essential.  After Wool Week everything for me goes fairly quiet and I will do other projects, like finishing off my winter track (electric fencing) for the Shetland ponies.

Always things to do here.
