Well it's Friday morning, it's feeling remarkably autumnal already.. "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" and all that. Well it's certainly misty and there have been windfall apples all over the lawn for the past couple of weeks.. so I guess that fits in. I do like Autumn tho.. the changing leaves .. the wind.. and yes.. even the rain to some extent. Always brings back childhood memories.

I have a dog addicted to fruit.. apples in particular, but he's happy to eat the fallen pears and plums as well. He's always been somewhat odd. He also has a thing for iceberg lettuce! I do wonder if my animals were mad before them came to live with me.. or has my influence slowly eroded their sanity? :-)

Well... I ended up in the pub last night.. as usually happens on a Thursday. The place always seems to get busier as we approach the end of summer and the students getting ready to go back to UNI. We did manage to find a table.. and so were able to have a decent conversation ( god that makes me sound old ;-) ) Mike spent the evening playing with the candle on the table ( another Thursday night tradition)... managing to get hot wax all over the place and himself. This is also a regular occurrence.. he clearly needs something to keep his hands occupied (Insert joke here).
