Minor satisfactions

[flemmings]

It's cold enough that I now sleep with three duvets: a polyester one under, the summer one over, and the winter down one on top. Eventually I'll put the summer one underneath, the only way that's really warm-- warmer than flannel sheets, even; put the winter duvet and the pillows into flannel covers, and be both warm and light. But September is September: in two days the low will be what the high was yesterday, a moderate 16. I will cast a few layers of clothes and bedclothes alike (since I now sleep in hoodie and pants and socks) until, of course, we go back to these lows of 8 and 10.

But I do like this time of year, where one can be snug as a bug without having the heat on. Also the leaves are turning, the first hints of yellow and red in the sunshine, which is always a cheering thing.

I have just received your present via amazon. Thank you so very much! It is greatly appreciated. Still trying to decide what to spend it on...

Oh good, you got it. Online orders dependent on emails are a little more tech than I'm entirely comfortable with.

It's cooler for us here too. it rains, but doesn't have the humidity and mugginess that sometimes accompanies rain.

We don't have the turning of the leaves, something which I truly miss of this time of the year of my time in England.

^__^ It sounds lovely where you are. Cheery indeed!

Let us hear it for dry cool wherever it happens.

Good Canuck me was disappointed by southern England's notion of fall colours. 'But it's all just... faded!' Note to me: sugar maples are not indigenous to the British Isles.
