I woke up twice in the early hours of Monday morning feeling very chilly, so after many weeks of sleeping under just the duvet cover decided it was time to put the duvet back inside it.
Quizzy Mondays with Only Connect and University Challenge are back on TV and when I walked up the street to the bottle bank and post box before 9am and there was a touch of Autumn in the air.
I'd love the warmth to carry on for all of September and October if possible but the seasons will change regardless.
Back Soon

Good to have Monday's Quizzes back - but it will be the last season of UC with Paxo!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sorry to see the last of JP. Amol Rajan is much nicer!
DeleteSnap - I've just said something similar in my blog. The thermometer doesn't measure significantly colder nights but they are feeling much cooler and it's definitely time to warm up the bed covers.
ReplyDeleteOh, I missed quizzy Monday but they should have recorded, fingers crossed. I'm happy about them being back.
Have a lovely day.

Lovely to get the brain working on Monday evenings again - even if it's a bit slower!
DeleteWe noticed a very 'autumnal' feel to the air at dusk last night and it was a bit chilly when I came home about 8.30pm.
ReplyDeleteThe last time we had a really, really cold winter in Cumbria was about ten years ago and it was below zero for six weeks without a break. So it could be said we are "due" for a cold winter and I hardly dare think about what this will do to families on limited budgets given how much fuels costs have risen.
(Wasn't University Challenge good last night?)
I'm concerned for the parts of my family who are already on universal credit - it's a real worry
DeleteIt is a good time of year, getting the cosy feeling, and as you say better TV.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have the summer heat!
DeleteI, for one, am relieved that the temperatures are more normal.
ReplyDeleteCertainly better for getting work done outside but I love the heat
DeleteHope you enjoyed quiz night. It won't be complete until Mastermind comes back for me though. Unfortunately I went to sleep during University Challenge, so it's thank goodness for iPlayer!
ReplyDeleteU.C was a very tight result. I not as keen on Mastermind as I was, not sure why really. Although I much prefer Clive Myrie as the question master
DeleteYes, same here. Now have a light cover on top of duvet cover and back to Jim jams.
ReplyDeleteAfter putting the duvet back in a cover I woke up too hot!
DeleteThe first time we light the woodburner in the evening always makes me think that autumn is here - but as for the electric Aga it's going to need to be pretty chilly to switch that on with the energy bills hike!
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
The projected price for next year is frightening
DeleteI'm loving the cooler nights, and I have had a summer-weight duvet inside my cover since about June, but the other night I put the extra little cover at the bottom half of the bed to keep my feet warmer.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it nice to have Only Connect back last night, I afraid I can't bring myself to watch miserable and sarcastic Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge. He ruined it for me.
JP's last season so you will be OK this time next year
DeleteI love Fall and so I am happy to have the weather cool off a bit.
ReplyDeleteI like autumn but prefer summer!
DeleteAnd what a cliff hanger University Challenge was!!
ReplyDeleteA very good competition. Did you watch the programme that followed celebrating 60 years of UC
DeleteThe programme that followed was wonderful.
DeleteThe nights are cooler here too. I hated the hot nights because I wanted the fan, and my husband hates the noise of it!
ReplyDeleteCertainly much easier to sleep with a cooler night. I'm not a fan of fans either!!
DeleteI've noticed that the air is definitely cooler ☹️not ready for summer to end just yet!
ReplyDeleteMe neither
DeleteCurrent thermometer reading is 32c, feeling like 38c due to humidity. You do not want to go outside. Would very much like some cooler days and nights. :) Fortunately, we have a/c. Never survive our summers (as well as some of spring and autumn) without it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds a really sticky hot heat - hope it cools for you soon
DeletePlease send that cool Autumn air my way. It's still baking hot with no sign of Autumn in Massachusetts.
ReplyDeleteHope cooler air blows your way soon
DeleteIt really is cooling off at night. Getting up in the morning is quite the challenge some days. I wrap up in a shawl or blanket.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I will find it hard to get up later when it is still dark until after 7.30 - don't look forward to that at all
DeleteThe nights are drawing in. Xx
ReplyDeleteI noticed how dark it was by 8pm last night. Quite a change. Much prefer the cooler nights now though, they are much more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThe nights are getting darker here, but the days and nights are still hot!
