Husband and son have been home for two extra days this week and it is messing up my days lol. I kept thinking Friday was Sunday and I'm really not sure what today was. Ack.
Husband and I went out for a while yesterday but it was bitterly cold and the skies all grey. It had snowed a little overnight Thursday night, but the roads were okay. Walking on the beach was not. I was frozen. I was bundled up - even had on my hat and gloves, but either it was colder than I imagined or my body is just not that used to the cold yet. I really need to slide into winter, walking on the beach was like jumping into the sea when it's really cold. I think the wind chill was 21F/-6C. It was a little windy. Brrrrr.
Today was another chilly grey day. I went out for a walk anyway. I couldn't stay in the house all day. I bundled up - again - and took some hand warmers in my gloves too. It did help. When I came home husband and I went over to Jane's house so he could move some (heavy) bags of rubbish up from the basement into the bin and empty a couple of boxes that will be shredded into a large barrel. MIL and I are starting back up again on Monday after taking last week off. I think neither one of us is looking forward to it but it is something that has to be the done.
I spent some more time up in the craft room this afternoon. It was quite nice to get back to doing things. I'm still not feeling that creative but I've been doing some things that I have done before and enjoyed. I'm hoping inspiration strikes at some point. I have a lot of sorting to do in the craft room. I feel as though I need to purge a lot of stuff but am I ready to let go of it? I keep thinking that I don't want someone to have to sort through all this.
A couple of phone photos from my walk today. The lake already has some ice on it - I feel as though this is too soon - lol!
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
Beautiful pictures, Sharon! But, brr! It is cold up there, isn't it? Glad to see that you are spending some time crafting. I, too, have a lot of stuff to sort through in the crafts room; waiting until after the holidays to do so. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's what I'll probably do. We took a week off Jane's but will be back sorting this week so mine will probably wait unless I am truly inspired to get rid of stuff.
DeleteIt is cold - bitterly cold some days and I'm sure it will only get worse!
I whinge about the cold here and then I read the above and realise maybe it's not so bad after all. lol
ReplyDeleteIce on the lake already. Wow!
xx
I think it's the wind that does it. Sometimes it feels a different sort of cold in England. Damp and bitter
DeleteJumping in the sea doesn't appeal at all at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI was reading about the Christmas Day Dip at Felixstowe and decided it wasn't for me!
Yes, I'm not sure I'd be doing that! Mind you there are people out on the lake with their wind surfs and kite surfs even when there is ice around! They are far braver than me.
DeleteI'm glad you found time to do something you liked. I know when I feel the urge to purge, I better go with it. Your photos capture exactly what it is like between fall and winter!
ReplyDeleteI keep hoping the urge will hit me more! We took a week off from Jane's but I am thinking that when we go back it might give me another push to get rid of things.
DeleteIt feels as though winter arrived overnight and I need a bit more warning that it is on its way. I never used to be a fair weather walker but increasingly find that I don't like cold wet weather. I'd rather stay home by the fire.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it? I was hoping I'd slide gently into it. I try to get out all weather, but sometimes it is a struggle!
