Didn't I say I was going to post pics for October? And yet I went and automatically took some today, so... *g*

It's been a much more useful day too, so that was good. I ticked everything off yesterday's list, all ready to make a new list for tomorrow. Skyped with my brother's family first thing too - it's their first weekend out of lockdown (only 61 cases in Melbourne now) and W's birthday, and the Aussie equivalent of a Baker day at school (whatever they're called now - not Inset Days any more either, not teacher training... I do know...!) and it's Melbourne Cup Race Day on Tuesday, so it's a looo-ong first weekend out of lockdown for them too! And good weather forecast.

Meanwhile, here on the grim side of the world... last night I listened to owls that I could hear through my bathroom vent, and this morning I listened to birds through it. This evening I nipped out to measure something in the shed, and a bat swooped down.

Carpark leaves are still doing their thing.

But there's definitely a more wintry vibe around too!

...and the village starting to look cosy as night began to settle itself in...

Oh yeah - and I was writing my nephew a birthday letter, when I realised that instead of writing "and wash our hands alot" I'd written "and wash our lads alot"... Now was that the autocorrect trying to perk me up a bit, or am I trying to tell me something...? *g*

Fabulous, fabulous trees! Pretty trees, trees forming a protective avenue... you'll be tired of reading this but they really are gorgeous. And the colours look so vivid, almost painted on. Thank you.

How could I possibly be tired of the idea of gorgeous beautiful trees? Definitely not! *g* I always think autumn trees are so muted over here, compared to autum in Alaska, for instance (or the pics we see of east coast US autumns), but our trees definitely have their moments of hurrah. *g*
