Frosty start

The first frost of the autumn—later than expected. We're off this week, so we've got a nice long list of things to do; inside and out, depending on the weather. Today we re-started clearing the cotoneaster. We began in August last year, and got far enough to use the space to empty the nursery bed in order to make the vegetable garden.

Sometimes I feel like it's all a puzzle, like the chicken/fox/grain riddle. Never mind.

Anyway; we've set too, once more, on clearing the brush. We're dumping it on the future position of the pond, rather than carrying it all down to the bottom of the garden. It's much faster now, and it means fewer extension cables on the chipper when we come to shred it.

Inside, I put up the shower curtain, and a thermal blind in the kitchen (as it's getting cold and dark).
