Autumn

[debitha]

I really like Autumn in the UK. There aren't so many evergreens around Bath, so it's all big orange falling leaves and berries on bushes.

Guy Fawkes seems to work well in the cold, with bonfires and the like. I went to the fireworks up at the University, and watched the ones that Smarla went to last night from my bedroom window. There have to be SOME advantages to living up the hill of puffing death.

Sadly it is really very, VERY cold here right now. Multiple layers, hat, gloves, scarf kind of cold. Now if I could only find my gloves. The fog this morning was amazing. It just didn't let up all day. And it was a damn depressing day already. We got new carpet put in over the weekend, and had to be at work at 7.30 this morning to move the furniture and computers back. But it's OK, because the boss bought us bacon sandwiches. Yeah. I am quite tired now.

I still can't get my head around Christmas and New Years in the cold. Just as well I'll be home for Christmas at least. Mmmmm warm. *Edit* I just checked NZ weather on Stuff. Damn. :o(

I think I may be ceasing to be coherent, so I'll stop there.

Heya,

if you're still stuck for a place to stay in Wgtn for the week then you are completely welcome to one of our couches - it's really just a big long couch in the lounge though. No fold out bed, no spare room, nothing like that - so there must be *someone* who has a spare room or at least a bed-settee.

However, if you're stuck, it's totally available.

Obviously if you were here for the weekend we're away the bedroom would be all yours :-).

The weather yesterday was sunny. Today it's back to cold and manky, with southerlies and rain. It's like Wgtn decided to skip spring and have another go at winter...
