visibility: poor

The fog has been thick and persistent this week, alongside the cold and grey skies it has been a dreary few days. But interesting too. It is a bit weird to walk your dog along the river and not be able to see the water. To hear voices coming from a boat but see nothing, "There is a guide post just up here, slow down, a bit to the right, no, no I mean the left". I didn't hear a crash so they must have got it right. I certainly couldn't see them and sometimes I couldn't see the dog who kept walking while I got distracted taking photos, but thankfully who came running when I called her name, materialising out of the grey mist...

solitude

The house will be quiet this week with both Colin and Johanna in Melbourne. One is trying to complete as much work as possible before he takes a break and the other is attending her first midwifery placement. That leaves Winnie and I on our ownsome...

the last leaves

We planted a couple of ornamental pear trees for my birthday. Watching the leaves tell the story of autumn brings joy to my heart...

taking a break

A Sunday afternoon break from exam study...
