Apologies to the thousands of loyal readers ;-). This year seems to have been a bit of a stretch so far and ths Autumn is no different. Having moved into the the new Fat Cat’s Patch HQ in December 2021 we seem to have been on the go ever since. Our recent work including replacing the oil fired boiler, after a mere 6 weeks without hot water. We are currently in the midst of a full house re-wire. No stress their then. Because no Autumn is complete without 4 weeks of disruption and repeatedly moving boxes of belonging you don’t need or want from one room to another. Then back again!
In the garden EmmCee has gone all Hannibal Lector or some other metaphor. And has been chopping back years of overgrowth from teh borders. The ducks are still as disagreeable as ever and productivity has dropped to Longbridge in the mid 70’s levels. The chickens remain chicken-y and whilst egg production has slowed a little they still show the dusck a clean pair of heels,
The Autumn higlight so far though is Jupiter. I finally worked out what that bright light in the sky was I gave up on my death cult and got out the telescope. It’s only a cheap little thing EmmCee picked up in a charity shop but with little fiddling we got a decent view of Jupiter and more astonishingly could see 4 moons. The Monsters loved this and it was a little bit of a family first.
As I’ve probably promised before I’m going to try and be a little bit more diligent in my posting. We have a few projects in plan Stir Sunday being foremost amongst them but a variety of others too.
Enjoy your Autumn.
