Skywatch Friday

 

Linking to Skywatch Friday 

It's been a week of more clouds than sunshine, and also quite a bit of rain on and off - but still quite a few colourful autumn leaves "hanging on" to brighten up the views. 

It's also been a "going round the mulberry bush" kind of week (i.e. a week of various repetitive household chores). (We have the song in Swedish, too - but here we go round a juniper bush!) 

On Monday afternoon I went for a walk down to the river and back. Tuesday was laundry day for me. It was also raining more or less all day, and I don't think I got out at all. 

Wednesday was sunny, and I got some "autumn cleaning" done on my balcony: Taking down the "privacy" trellis from one side of the railing (most of its fake leaves "gone with the wind" now anyway!); and then getting the (two) plastic rugs off the (metal) floor, and hanging those on the railing to dry in the sun that afternoon, and then rolling them up and put them to spend another couple of days in a corner of my bathroom - before I finally got them down to the basement storage today. (They're getting old and stiff, and so am I, so I'm not sure they'll be laid out again next summer...) 

Thursday was grocery delivery day (in the late morning, before lunch). In the afternoon I got out for a while, for my usual walk around the old cemetery. Today, Friday, it was raining most of the day again; and on top of that it was another day of constant noise and vibrations from the park construction work going on nearby: Still just a huge muddy field that seems to be craving endless layers of grit, sand and soil to raise it to the same level as the surfaces next to it... I did manage a short walk during a break in the rain, but stayed even closer to home (i.e. did not go over to the cemetery).
