Evening Twters. Curry night with @woe2you has been faithfully observed. We are both very full of dinner. And very very tasty it was too. We suffered a 'misnap' earlier and didn't get up til 7pm, hence the lateness!

A white plate with red dishes on it: chicken balti, bombay potatoes, worth pilau rice and a mini naan.

Afternoon, Twters! My friend got me this AMAZING mug for Halloween this year, it's just been filled with hot chocolate and mini marshmallows. Had my flu jab this morning, so I think I've earned a little treat. Happy Autumn, all!

A halloween mug: looks like a witch with a removable witch's hat on it to keep hot drinks hot in the cooler months. It's mostly black with an orange and white collar, orange shoes, and a black and white striped handle.

Afternoon, Twters! Picked up a filing cabinet from Freecycle, which I've been on the look out for since I moved in. Papers finally stored neatly! Have a 'before' and 'after' shot. I'm so chuffed.

A messy pile of paperwork, printer living on the floor covered in said paperwork, just a big old pile of mess

The 'after' picture - filing cabinet neatly filled with the paperwork I needed (much stuff thrown away!), printer in pride of place on the top. Much better.

Evening, Twters! #Eclipse viewing went well - here's a pic from through the glasses (best of a bad bunch!) - it went eerily dark and I got to watch it from my front doorstep. And I'm off up the Bwlch for the #PerseidMeteorShower later on. What a cosmic, celestial day!

Afternoon, Twters. Today, I went for a walk - first exercise in a LONG time. Reconnected with nature. I feel tired, but very peaceful and happy. Community groups that support this sort of thing are massively under-appreciated. ❤️

A waterfall with a Pixie Bridge spanning it. Rocks are on the right next to the stream, and to the left, very old, moss-covered trees decorate the other side. A person wearing and bright pink waterproof can be seen on the very right of the picture.

A lovely stream babbling through rocks and roots of trees. Moss-covered trees adorn both sides of the stream.

A clear running stream with frogspawn towards the near-side of it. Plenty of greenery, twigs, leaves, and grass are seen to the right.

Another waterfall from a babbling water falling over a rocky wier, dropping into a calm, gentle stream. Green grass to the near-side and trees toward the far side.
