🍃🍂🍃🍂
It will not always be like this,
The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration
To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs
Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening
🌳🌲🟩    🐦🍀🌄
In the lawns mirror. Having Looked up from the day's chores, pause a minute,
Let the mind take its photograph
Of the bright scene, Something to wear     
Against the heart in the long cold.

This morning eldest son had left me a text in French, telling me how he was, and what he was doing today. I was so pleased I could read and understand all his texts in French.

I feel like I am making progress, putting my OU french studies to good use. I replied with a text telling him in french what I would be doing today too including, dentist appointment, library, studying, reading and note taking for TMA 02. We exchanged some amusing emoticons! 😅😷🥴🥱

I took my hisband for a dental appointment check up. We then did a quick tour of the village,  stopping off at the library,  which thankfully was empty.  In the library we had a good look around and hisband bought some good second hand books that were for sale there. I helped the lady to pack and  tidy up some of the  books,  before she closed the door for the day ( they are only open in the mornings now) I like to help out there sometimes whenever I can. 📚

When we got home we had a cup of tea and a sandwich. I was then able to study again for a few hours taking notes and listening to audios. Today I was studying all about metaphors. I had almost  finished taking notes when the electric fire blew up!
Yes thats right, the electric fire had just exploded, as in it had overheated, it went pop! oh no!

Fortunately I had a little spare heater in the store room,  a radiator type of thing. Not as cosy looking as my little log effect fire,  but it does the job,  until we get the broken heater fixed.

I made a hearty Spaghetti Bolognaise for the dinner, which we both really enjoyed a great deal, the weather being so cold and damp outside and a fog has now started to form around the house and garden. Thank Goodness I found that spare heater!

The cats had been out all last night and they were now both curled up, one on the chair and the other on the settee on top the knitted blankets that I have made made especially for them. 

I switched on my little electric candelabra and the twinkling christmas  lights, then we had a strong cup of tea and a stollen cake. Just time for a bit of reading,  while waiting for my other half to come home. ☕🍪

It has been predicted in the Bible that there will be a great falling away from the belief in the existence of God. I believe this is happening, and this is not something new,  but fulfills the prophesies of Revelation about the truth of the end times. Revelation is a very nteresting chapter of the Bible that gives us hope!

The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

(Isaiah 40 Bible)
