Well blow me down.

This was my lunch today. Mushrooms, spiralised carrot and courgette, lentils, and an egg. There was rather too much here, but I scoffed it anyway. Now it's half past six and I am still not hungry. I will delay my dinner for another half an hour, it will be something light. 

The weather was miserable this morning so I kept myself busy in the house. I've got enough of the duvet left over to make three pet beds. I cut a curtain up for two of the covers, and found a piece of fabric in the stash box for the third. 

I am eating my way through a massive bag of apples given to me in the summer. I have wrapped them in newspaper and get them out a few at a time and cook them. Today I peeled and cut five of them up and simmered them for a few minutes in a pan. This will be added to porridge or bran flakes for my breakfast. 

After lunch I made the quick decision to go out. It was very windy. 

I did my usual six mile walk. On the way back I passed the bench, it's next to the tree just there. I didn't stop, the light was fading, and the wind was blowing harder. 

These feather dusters are across the other side of a field. I have often wanted to get up close to them, but walking across the middle of the field is not allowed, and neither is walking around the edge because it isn't a recognise foot path. A zoom in with the camera is all I am going to get. 

Almost back into the village and I was getting weary battling against a head wind. Not a good sunset tonight. 

Well that certainly blew the cobwebs off me. Not all the walks are under a blue sky and sunshine. It takes a bit more effort to get up and go out when the weather is challenging.

Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon.
