Dark Days

Today was the last day of "British Summer Time" (BST). The clocks change tonight, and though we gain an hour of sleep, we lose an hour of afternoon daylight. Dark days are ahead.  I don't think we should change. We should stay on BST all year round.

I was up soon after seven, and Di came down just before eight. We had a quiet hour before I joined my weekly Zoom call with the cousins. There was no outstanding theme for the call today, but we did discuss quizzes and electronic calendars (separate discussions, I should point out).

With the week's call finished, I headed out for a walk. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and, though it was nippy, it was ideal for walking. I was out for over an hour, finishing my AudioBook and starting its sequel. 

Back home, Di was just tucking into the ironing while I pottered about doing various inconsequential chores. After some lunch, I settled down with my Kindle, and Di came out to join me when she was finished.
