Leaves Keep Falling

 

It's been a rainy weekend here. Yesterday afternoon I managed a short walk in the immediate neighbourhood, though  - and without getting wet. 

Today I managed to stay dry as well - but by staying in!! ;)

The night between yesterday and today it was also time to turn our clocks back to winter (=normal!) time. I turned all mine (except the internet-controlled devices) back last night, before going to bed. When I woke up this morning I had to double-check though - because in spite of turning the clocks back, I managed to sleep until 10 a.m. ... 

 "Little My" timer (if you don't know her, she is one of the Moomin characters). She is of no help at all with the big twice-a-year time changes - nor with getting up in the morning. But she does sometimes help with reminding me to take breaks from sitting too long at the computer, or to make sure I unplug the iron after I'm done with ironing...

 

Weekend Reflections

 

Linking to Weekend/Street Reflections #300 

Monday this week (19th October) did not only offer blue sky and amazing autumn colours in the trees, but also perfect river reflections... :) 

The photo at the top shows a view across the river to the city park (in Borås, Sweden). The second one shows an old industrial complex along the same river. (Those who have been following this blog will no doubt recognise it from many previous photos - but on a day like this, I can never resist just taking one more...) Not sure what kinds of businesses reside there now, but originally they were no doubt to do with the textile industry. 

Skywatch Friday

 

It's been raining here since Tuesday, and that seems likely to continue over the weekend - but I saved this photo from Monday for Skywatch Friday... :)

The perspective is a bit unusual as I was walking on a street (sidewalk) down below where these trees grew. 

Leftovers

 

A few "zoom" photos from a sunny day earlier in October, taken with my compact camera.

After a sunny weekend and start to this week, we're now (Tuesday) back to grey and rainy weather again - and today I haven't been out at all. Today that actually suited me just fine, though, as I had the laundry room booked anyway, and three loads to wash...  

Sunny Sunday

     

This morning started out foggy - but later it turned into a amazingly crisp, clear and sunny autumn day. I went for another walk down to the riverside, and back home via the cemetery. I live only a short walk from both - but today I walked slowly on purpose, just for the pleasure of staying out for a while (an hour or so).
