rub-a-tum-tum

night comes too quickly, and darkness falls much too swiftly.

it's warm outside, though. rather balmy, in fact.

but it might have changed since i last stepped out into the garden a while ago. you know how fickle the weather is here.

and the leaves have all dropped off the trees. it's just golden, yellow, brown and green everywhere. crackly sometimes, and squishy others. and a great big bunch of them floating about in a pool created by days of continual drizzle.

today we're having sardines for dinner. proper sardines, not those in a tin. grilled sardines with raw onion salad and roast potatoes. mmmmm....

with dinner at tim&gair's tomorrow, and at tracy's birthday thingamajig on saturday, this is going to be a week of yummyliciousness. i can tell.
