Before I left, I did a few minutes' farmer's carry with 5lb weights, wearing my boots, around the living room. It's a gradual process, but Sunday was dry, so I wore Tretorns for walking. They're a bit too big, always something.
Chilly chairs for snowmen
Look at the pale gold of these beech leaves, hanging in for most of the winter
And here's dear G fizzing away with me on a recent visit. She's one of the few people this 5'2" woman can tower over, I love it.
Creepy shadows, cue scary music. It's like good tree, bad tree.
Crowds of kids later in this area, kicking balls, throwing spirals more or less, having a great time, girls and boys all playing, reminded me why I like living here rather than in a quiet, little retirement development.
A lot of my friends live in them and like it, I'd hang sooner, but there, you do you, they'll do them. I love the energy of kids fizzing about.
Happy day everyone, fizz away! Sez Ted and Big Ursy
