Autumn is well and truly with us now, it seems. It looks and feels a lot like summer, as it goes. A few degrees colder and crisper, but otherwise not that much difference.
My autumn schedule has kicked in now. Sunday School has been back in swing for a few weeks now, and Monday Club started back this week, as well. That's my Monday evenings gone for the next six months. Still, however much I grumble about the demands on my time, about it being cold, dark and wet, running from door to door collecting the kids for club, I can't help being genuinely fond of every single one of them. Even the naughty ones. We've lost a couple over the summer, who've gone up to high school and so move on to the Friday night youth club. But taking their place, there are younger siblings coming through. Eric and Daisy brought their brother Orlando, who is three now, and ditto Shayla's little brother, Pharel. The scary part? I remember those children being born. I've been wrangling Pharel on the doorstep since he learned how to walk, as he has a bad habit of sprinting off down the street, usually naked, as soon as the door opens. And now he's old enough to come to club himself. Time has wings.
Also? I seem to have caught my mother's version of the cold I had last week. Totally different symptoms. At least my brain hasn't shut down this time; I'm just coughing and sneezing all the time.
With hiatus over, there's plenty of choice for what to watch all of a sudden. Although, having said that, half the shows on my list are DVD, rather than on the box.
( Grey's Anatomy Season 4 )
( Supernatural Seasons 2 and 3 )
( Bionic Woman Season 1 )
( Heroes Season 1 )
( Farscape, Deadwood and The Tudors, season 1 all round )
