Currently reading: Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman 📚Slowly working my way through this book. I’ve reached the start of the fourth week of meditations. I allowed myself to be diverted to read Time Surfing that was mentioned in the meditation for day eleven. I’m enjoying it. Recommended.

Autumn colour at Wakehurst Place, which is the country home of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and its Millennium Seed Bank. Had a walk around in pleasant company. 🙂

Currently reading: Writers and Their Notebooks by Diana M. Raab 📚I’m drawn to yet another book about the use of notebooks. This is a collection of essays by writers on their use of notebooks.

At the end of chapter one in Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman the message I’m taking away is “Good enough is perfectly acceptable”. 😂

Currently reading: Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman 📚Just arrived and I’m reading the prologue. Question I’m asking myself is: do I read it over a couple of days, or do as is suggested and take four weeks? I’ll find out tomorrow when I start reading chapter 1 and maybe chapter two, etc.

Bother! I’d intended to take some photos of Standen House kitchen garden where I have spent the day weeding the beds. Meeting other volunteers and chatting drove the idea from my mind. Maybe next time…

Finished reading: This Time Next Year We’ll Be Laughing by Jacqueline Winspear 📚If you’ve read her Maisie Dobbs books, you’ll see where some of the stories came from. An enjoyable and at times emotional read.

Dahlia still in flower this late in October. Is this usual? It’s my first time growing dahlias and I have no idea what to expect. These were grown from seed: Bishop’s Children.

Went out earlier to clear the leaves from the drive. I even did the neighbour’s drive too.
A couple of hours later and there’s another fine layer of leaves on the drive. Ho-hum! Glad I have a leaf blower and can make leaf mould to use in the garden in a couple of years 😎
