Is it autumn yet?

The clocks went back last night, and I had my covid booster yesterday, so I'm feeling a bit dazed with the world so far today. Solution? Post to lj! *g* I actually went to bed early (for me - just before midnight), so it rather threw me to wake up at 5.45am-ish, having actually had nearly seven hours sleep (again, that's my normal - in fact pretty good for me!), but not feeling quite ready to get up yet, so I didn't... and when I did it was still before 7am!!

I had my jab around 2.30pm yesterday, and my arm didn't even start aching until not long before I went to bed - but then I couldn't sleep on my left side all night! *headdesk* I think the ache is fading now. I have a slight headache (barely counts as a headache, but there) and feel a bit drippy, but that could be me rather than the shot... *g* Well, it's probably the shot, but it's also Sunday, so I can roll with it. *g*

Here's the last day of the year when sunset was around 6pm...

It is looking a bit autumn-y in the village... *g* Yesterday was ridiculous though - when I finally got up (after working until about 4am *headdesk*) I'd missed half a day that was warm, with an amazing balmy breeze - my favourite kind of day! It's cooler today, but still not October-cold. Absolutely no need to put the heating on yet...

Some pics from the day before (the first one's for [livejournal.com profile] tinturtle - green fields *g*):

Okay, clearly those trees are doing the autumn thing...!

And finally - a very fun surprise when I finally sorted out how to hang the big mirror my last landlady gave me. It only had a hook to hang it vertically, and I wanted it horizontal, so I was peeling back the tape to see what the wood was like for attaching things to, and...

How cool is that?! I have a film-star mirror! I can't at all work out what the other bits of writing mean, but I'd like to think it was hints to the film it had been in. *g* That middle word that's a bit cut off just before "Sold" looks like "THARAT"...

And now I'm feeling a bit droopy as well as drippy, so I think I'm going to take a break from sitting upright!

How are you doing? *g*

So, all caught up with your covid shots? At least for this year? *g* So far in the last few months I've gotten my covid booster, flu shot, tetanus, and both shingles shots. I'm hoping that next year they can at least combine the covid shot with the flu shot.

We're definitely in Autumn, as our backyard is a sea of leaves! The day will be spent raking. 🙁

And most certainly cool about your mirror! A piece of movie memorabilia.

Nice snaps! You always do a good composition.

I had the newest booster a few weeks ago and thankfully, had no problems but a tender spot for a few days. Still worth the trouble, though.

Ha. I wonder where it was used? In a film? Cool!

Lovely atmospheric photos. Hope you are now feeling less droopy after your jabs. I'm surprised your mirror hasn't yet written a best-selling memoir about its time at Pinewood...

We seem to have an autumn of wind and rain :) It is not conducive to photography :(

I had my flu jab a few weeks ago and we are going to the drop-in session tomorrow to get our covid ones done. I'm hoping I feel ok after it as I have volunteered to do an extra day in the Churches' Bookshop on Wednesday.

And just think who has looked into that mirror before you!!
