When you have no meat on your bones it gets bloody cold this time of year. Thinking about having an estimate done on putting a glass dome around the house.
Thats how bad I am feeling this chill, or perhaps cover it with solar panels that will pay the electricity bill I suppose.

And it was a lovely stroll this afternoon too…
Hi
It was cold here last night, 7 or 8C.
I love the autumn, a wonderful time to get out into the countryside. The time of year to dust down the slow cooker in preparation for all those rich, warming meaty casseroles, not to mention roast chestnuts, mulled ale and celebrating seasonality

Today when I have just filled my first hot water bottle !
No heating required …
I look forward to the fall; the foliage, the sunsets, the cooler weather to go for walks, can now wear turtlenecks and sweaters, ankle boots, and not have to worry about breaking out in a sweat!
I even like the winter and snow…walking outside in the crisp air with snow flakes falling is delightful.

Too right David. I used to love this time of year but I’m starting to feel the cold already, put the heating on the last couple of evenings. The bedroom doesn’t ever get any sun and it feels like a crypt when I go to bed. Brrrrrrrrrrrr! I’ll have to start wearing pyjamas at this rate…
Getting a bit chilly overnight now in the South East corner but still 18, 19 or 22 degrees C expected on Monday during the daytime.
Picked two bowls of mixed ripe tomatoes today from an unheated greenhouse so cannot be bad. Some large deep red and purple dahlias still in full bloom in garden also smaller yellow ones and Cosmos.
The street is lined with Chestnut trees so the ripe conkers bounce off roofs of cars. Perhaps that might deter them from parking in the street as we are quite close to the railway station for commuters.

Yep, probably won’t be too long before the heating is on, just for a quick blast first thing in the morning. It’s starting to feel a tad chilly around dawn here in Sussex.
That’s a seductive little nightie you are sporting there OGF

I’m not that hardy Muddy…I bought an electric fleece last year 
In all seriousness it’s really worth having, nothing like those old fashioned lumpy electric blankets.
Hi
My thermostat is set to 20.5C on the advice of the medics.
The heating in the lounge has already been on for a couple of nights.
What is telling are my LEDs in the lounge, programmed to come on in low light conditions.
They have been early recently, today at 2:50 in the afternoon.
Yes I’ve had the heating on a couple of times it’s been quite cold I even lit the wood burning stove a couple of nights ago…bit of a softy here 
Hi
You are not a softy, just practical and realistic.
Cold affects us more as we get older.
Autumn really is here, a very misty start to the day and still dark.
My lights are still on, they are light sensitive.
