Good-o

Thankfully we had our first Noo-noo collection this morning.  It sucked up a nice big pile of leaves from the edge of the front yard, making room for the next pile which we'll be assembling soon.  The leaves are dropping at quite a rate now.

And the nights are definitely getting colder.  When I put the kids to bed tonight the Boy requested a hot water bottle, and I've had to dig a thicker quilt out of the closet.

The Man is somewhere possibly colder. To get there he had to endure a hostile interview. The view from his hotel (right) includes a 1970s landmark known locally as "The Big Owe".  Enough clues? A royal mountain of them.
