The heatpump inspection is done yay, and passed, yay again, Handsome Son being there to see the two inspectors in. One electrical, one plumbing.
The plumbing one gave him a good tip about some ac part or other that might save a service call. So we're all done, for now, and he has reliable heat in time for cold weather.
I'm currently rereading Mrs Pargeter, for these tired times, and started a Julian Barnes.
I love Barnes, since his first novel, which made me feel so seen. Anyway, this is

I winterized the living room. This amounts to finding the remote for the fireplace insert, changing the sofa throw from white cotton quilt to fuzzy kitty themed blanket, and turning over the loveseat cover to the busy friendly patterned side. Done. Then to have a cosy read. No need to get carried away with cleaning or anything. I did launder the white quilt.
After a day of not walking, so much going on competing for the energy, I really had a good sunny windy walk. A lot of nuts this year, crunching underfoot, and you have to watch your step around black walnuts, big enough to sprain your ankle if you step wrong.
Lovely time visiting the trees
and ivy growing up the wild cherry, a duck and drake on the pond. There was activity under the water, maybe frogs.
I cut short my pond visit when a golfer hit a ball far out of bounds, bouncing off a tree near me and into the water. He was with a group, so I decided I'd better put more trees between us, in case his friends were at his level of golfery.
Home again with a nice spray of I think beech leaves.
