Nov. 10th, 2019 02:39 pmI posted my no tags story yesterday. The challenge is still anon at the moment so I can't link. But, if you're interested in bandom you should go check out all of the stories. I haven't read any yet -- that's my plan for this afternoon -- but just with a quick scan, there's some interesting stuff. You can see them here.
The cold seems to have arrived abruptly, I had to break the ice on the birdbath for the first time yesterday morning and there was the first ground frost of the year. At least it's been sunny this morning, though it's gone overcast now. I've been out in the garden tidying up a bit, especially around the raised bed in front of the window. I suspect the gutters are blocked as water has been cascading into the bed and splashing soil everywhere, the window was filthy this morning with sprayed dirt. I'll have to arrange for a handyman with a big ladder to come and clean them before winter sets in completely, so that's another job for next week.
James has a stomach bug atm so is off work again. Not ideal in the slightest with him just going back recently, but there wasn't a chance he could go in. He's been sleeping on the couch most of today, so hopefully will be feeling better by tomorrow.
As for me, I'm going to make a big mug of tea and get reading. Corey is a bit of a tea fan so when I was shopping with him he recommended a smoky china tea but I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's very smoky and I'm really not sure about the after-taste. I'm going to try it again but I suspect the box may end up going to Newcastle. Which is fine, it's not like I haven't a cupboard full of other teas to drink.
