[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 419334, member: 1991"] I haven't seen a morning thread for a while so I figured I'd start one. Autumn weather is here now. In the middle of the day it is still sometimes warm enough to take off a cardigan or wear just a singlet or t-shirt, but mornings, evenings and nights are colder. I took my swimsuit to church yesterday but before church finished, the cold winds began and it was too cool to go for a swim. The day before I had gone for a swim then lay on the sand with my notes, preparing for the church service. It was a lovely way to get my Vitamin D as well as get my responsibilities dealt with. A pleasant responsibility, and lying on my tummy just on the sand, no towel - you can't get closer to nature than that. It was warm. A rare day, could be the last chance before next summer. Today we took difficult child 3 for an updated neuropsychologist assessment. I sat in and quietly knitted while I listened - she really challenged him, he found it hard going. But his problem-solving skills are still astronomic - he scored 19 out of 20 in a section where most people score 11 or 12. As we were there, easy child 2/difficult child 2 was trying to message us. Turned out her computer screen had died, so as we left, I rang husband. Did he have a spare that was being thrown out? Turned out he was, as I spoke to him, getting a new screen installed so the technician said we could have the old one. husband's work was five minutes away so we drove there, got the computer screen, rang easy child 2/difficult child 2 to talk to her about it, headed off. When we have a day "on the mainland" we get as much done as possible, so we don't waste a trip (and have to go out too often!). This morning before the neuropsychologist I had fasting bloods done for my doctor. On the way home I saw my optometrist (I'd been postponing the appointment until it was convenient). Before we got to easy child 2/difficult child 2's I did some fruit/veg shopping and as I expected, she raided my supplies so she had the fixings for dinner. We got home just on sunset, and I'm TIRED! I'm about to go down to mother in law's to cook dinner for us all. A full day, but a productive one. And no need now to go out (other than in the village) for another week. Enjoy your Monday and especially your spring weather. It's snowing in the mountains today, apparently. No wonder our nights are cold! Our day today was sunny, a typical lovely autumn day, but I already miss the heat of summer. I'm a beach babe... Marg [/QUOTE]
