Indoor days

As winter approaches, we are, naturally, spending more and more time inside. There is still work to be done outdoors, but it's been too wet to rake leaves. I go out every day now to split logs and bring in the daily firewood. All the potted plants that need to come in for the season are in, and this weekend I will bring in the deck furniture.

Watching Cincinnati lose to Pittsburgh on Sunday Night (American) Football while it storms outside. I record the games overnight and watch them the next day.

I will also give the bbq grill a good wipe-down over the weekend. It's sheltered on the deck, so it will stay outside. We just ordered a new grill cover to help protect it. The days are short, but when the sun comes out it's nice. Gloomy overcast days are for cooking and watching football on tv.

  1. Last week before we left Paris it was lows of 1 and 2 degrees but it did warm up by mid arvo to a cosy 4. Glad to be back in sunny Melbourne.

  2. What a nice home you two have made for yourself there :) It's funny to see the football field on the TV, knowing the house is in the Loire Valley *LOL*. Those new sliders sure do look nice!

  8. 32 here again today. I'm not really that happy to be back in Melbourne when it's this sunny. Too warm for me. I agree with you about the wind though. Sue

    1. sue, 32 is really uncomfortable for me, too. But we've rarely seen it in recent years.

  10. One thing I don't miss living in Spain is the feeling that I should be watching American football. I am however getting hooking on European football. Your sliders, creating a wall of glass, sure make it much less gloomy inside than it could be. What a beautiful space inside.
