Jumping

Ah, Blogger is putting the photos back to front again. 

The latest offerings to the gods of minimalism: an elderly Postman Pat jigsaw

and a couple of round tablecloths. A friend has just this moment emailed me, having seen these sacrificial articles on my Facebook page, to ask if she can have the jigsaw for her little grandson, so I've now removed it from the bin. Fortunately it hadn't suffered from its sojourn there! 

The tablecloths date from the time when, here at any rate, it was fashionable to cover a round table with a coloured cloth and then put a white lacy one on top of that. It was a pretty fashion, I thought, but has now passed, so why did I keep the white cloths? Well, no longer. They're off to a charity shop. 

We went up yesterday to visit Son and family. We didn't actually go to their house, but to the Scottish Deer Centre, which does have deer but also various other fun things such as these bouncy pillows. Son can jump quite high on them. He's now, surprisingly, 42; strange, since I myself am only 35. Could I have jumped that high at 42?? Hmm. 


The garden flourishes on,

though we've had some rain after a very dry summer,


so the weeds are taking full advantage. 


There's a lot which will need to be cut down in the next little while. 

But meanwhile, the autumn flowers give us pleasure.

  1. Your son can jump very high! I'm not sure I could have or would have even tried. Love the flowers! My annuals are mostly hanging on, even though I'm eager to buy some cyclamen for fall. I love the look of a tablecloth with the lace one but people aren't as formal these days. Most of my small tables are square anyway. (card tables)

  2. Being able to handle people’s problems efficiently and effectively is a thing worthy of gratitude in every respect. What DEFINITE CREDIT SOLUTION (DCS) did for me and my family is immeasurable. I had a very poor FICO of 510; I had a repo, student loans, evictions, and a couple of late payments. After my niece convinced me, I contacted DCS, and they boosted my FICO to 790 and removed all evictions, late payments, and repos. I know how unbelievable this may sound, but they actually gave me a reason to be happy again. If you would like to engage with their services, they’re just a DM away (DEFINITECREDITSOLUTION at GMAIL dot COM). They are the best and surest means of getting your credit fixed. Tell them Eric told you so.

  3. I love the lace table cover, but also sent a couple to the thrift shop as they had no purpose in my house. Such a shame.
    Your garden stays more colorful than mine. When the nights dip into the fifties, most flowers wither up. I do have some sedum and anemones to carry through the fall though.
