Autumn has Arrived

A quick note this evening as my laptop has only 4% left on the battery and I don't want to go and hunt for the charger. 

Summer ended yesterday in the space of around two hours. It went from unseasonably warm and sunny to cool, grey and damp, and today has been thoroughly miserable ending in heavy rain. The very worst sort of autumn day. I love crisp, cool autumn days, but not this! It should be better by Friday, but still very much cooler than it has been. Strange that the change of season should happen so abruptly on the autumn equinox. 

TG's cold is much better and she went back to school today, though missed dance again in the evening because we didn't think they would appreciate the tail end of her sniffles in the current climate. H had a routine medical appointment this morning which went well, and has spent the rest of the day buried in her studies. M and I were both busy working this morning, and I spent the afternoon on archives before Zoom band this evening. It seems that the latest tightening of restrictions will not affect our band's plans for more live playing. We recently got charity status, and that means that so long as we carry out a comprehensive risk assessment and have all the recommended Covid safety measure in place we can still meet in a larger group indoors.  All the players have to be spaced out by 2 metres, but we have been able to hire a large school hall where that will be feasible. 

Battery is going. Just time to add an autumnal picture from last year.
