It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it.

Monday 6th, 5.40, 9.4dg, 1.1ml rain on and off.  We have really had such a lovely weather pattern so far and that is always helpful when you have things to get done outside and you are on a limited time frame. Winter approaches, and if the garden is not prepared for the possible heavy snow we often get for long periods of time the plants just break open or break off.  That never pleases me as it then alters the summer look and broken plants are never happy plants. I have taken a gardening job to help with my pocket book, and last Thursday I was on the other end of my trusty garden fork and loppers for 6 hours, stripping out a garden area ready to re-plant it into something the male owner can manage with out any real work required to maintain it.  Big job, very sore shoulders. Today I go to buy the plants I have visualised for the garden area and then after laying down a heavy weed mat I will get the plants in and the rocks placed, and then he can do the donkey work shovelling on all the stones. It has been a busy time since I last wrote, with tuition and with socialising... not all the social aspects of the last four days have been very orderly, best to leave it there !! but suffice to say enjoyable at the time. It was a sad F1 race from Suzuka yesterday with Bianchi being so seriously injured, yes it can be a dangerous sport but the unforseeable is very hard to predict. Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family for a speedy recovery. Online trolling is another aspect of today's modern society that seemingly also has a price to pay. As you sow, so shall you reap. So, the start of a new week, with what looks like a good weather pattern at least until Wednesday. It would be nice to think my plans for the week will sail forward without hitch. I have a new woman joining the Tuesday evening girls and another wanting to come in on the group. That is then full, so anyone else wanting to have English conversation will have to start a new group of five. I bumped into one of my Mother's of a little on Friday night as I was experiencing the hospitality of a new woman's fashion shop opening in the village, and she wants her daughter to start back into tuition in February... that poses a problem as I have very limited space left for after school tuition. I have to operate it on a first in first served basis regardless of how long a child has been coming to me. Bookings in the Dachboden are going well... I see a busy winter ahead. As for the temperature in the house, I decided to get over the fact I didn't want to start having fires so early, I was just too darn cold, so I light a fire every night and now the house is a proper living temperature... at last. Happy days, happy nights.
