Always meant the end of the weekend, start of school again. Never much of a morning person a 6.45am start after weekend lie-ins was not ideal. It also meant an entire 5 days of early starts till the next weekend. Plus, it always seemed to rain. That's one in the anthropomorphic fallacy column. Which incidentally gets is second when every Friday I remember it was always sunny. Selective memory much?

But, to digress, the carpet fitter has been and done his final checks. Got to clear stuff, fix some doors before he comes Friday. Oh, and mop up. Wind's changed and the clouds look to be shifting, so no pathetic fallacy this Monday. Or maybe it is, it looks to be a good week. The house will be pretty much changed this time next anyway. The mower still lies broken in the garage but I'll get the strimmer out to trim some edges. Orchard is dripping with apples, plums. The Bramley's aren't properly ready yet, and neither are the Damson's but I smell a lot of apple crumble, plum pudding, apple sauce and the like. Oh, and the rhubarb is looking decent too. I have a feeling the runs may need to be cranked up to keep on top of things. Anyway, it's midday Monday. Stuff to do.
