Final stop, less than half an hour from home. Sitting by Royds Hall Dam with the sun starting to get low, finishing the last of my coffee.

Photo of Royds Hall Dam, a small reservoir. The sunlight is getting low and golden. The water in the reservoir is rippling in the breeze. The sky is still blue, but the few clouds on the horizon are starting to yellow as sunset approaches. Overhead crossing the reservoir are power lines, a large metal pylon stand on the far bank, far taller than the trees around it.

Not a bad spot to stop for a cup of coffee from the flask I’ve brought with me and a couple of biscuits (chocolate ginger). Then it will on through the last sections of woods.

Photo of beech trees with yellow brown autumn leaves. Three are close just the other side of a wooden fence. The rest are on the the slope down into the narrow steam cut valley. They are on the slope rising up on the other side of the valley as well.
The sunlight shines through the leaves, the sky is blue with some white fluffy cloud. The wind is blowing and making all the dry autumn leaves rustle.

Out for a walk along the Tinker trail down to the Judy Woods, enjoying the autumn sunshine before the weather turns tomorrow and we put the clocks back to GMT.

Photo of green fields sloping down to autumn woodland. Hills rise up in the distance with a very tall tower on the skyline. It is the Emley Moor tv transmitter tower. The sky is a mix of blue and drifting white clouds. The sun is shining. Oak leaves over hang the top of the photo.

Skip is 3/4 full and there is definitely going to left over plant/garden waste. Hopefully it won’t be more than a bin full though.

Rain to too heavy to do more now. So skip now has a tarp tied over it, and I’ll get on with other things until the weather clears on Sunday

thesilversun.bsky.social @thesilversun.bsky.social · 23d

The skip is here. (And so is the rain) I’m thinking i should probably have ordered a bit bigger one, not 100% certain everything that needs to go will fit in. But in guess any additional plant waste can go in the monthly garden bin collection.

Photo of a small, empty skip on a driveway. Behind the skip are wheelie bins on the right by the house, and it the back and left there is a wooden fence, with houses beyond that.

thesilversun.bsky.social @thesilversun.bsky.social · 24d

That’s a good chunk of it cleared - so many bags of brambles. Now to see how much of it is going to fit in the skip tomorrow.

Going to try to get most of it done tomorrow as soon as the skip is here. The weather for Saturday looks awful - high winds and rain - so no gardening that day.

Photo of a corner of a garden. There is a wooden fence and gate on one side a large storage container with double doors on the other. Ground is partially paved and partially gravelled. There are some some empty plant pots along one edge of the gravel

Photo of many bags of garden waste against the side wall of a brick house.

A couple of days off work (I’d built up a lot of time in lieu when I’d worked extra hours training new staff last month)

So it’s tackling the more of the garden time. A mini skip is booked for tomorrow to take away brambles/old fence panels/bags of garden waste.

Standing in my kitchen batch cooking a mixed bean chilli and writing fic on my phone.

@hils.bsky.social The new #DMBJ is on the wetv international app, but it's not called Wu Xie's Private Notes any more.

It's now called #TimeRaiders, the same as the film.

So thank you guest commenter who didn't like my Mysterious Lotus Casebook fic for the Beneath the Waning Moon zine (His White Moonlight) and decided to tell me all what they think is wrong with it.

You know you had the option not to comment, right?
