Japanese Anemone – 13 November 2026

One of those days that don’t seem to know what they’re doing.

We were pretty sure that today was going to be a more relaxing day than Thursday, and it was. We had frost in the morning and rain in the evening. No snow yet, but that may come soon too.

Neither of us had anything specific to do or anywhere in particular we wanted to go. We probably achieved that in part at least. Scamp was still feeling the effects of the last two or three days and for once she didn’t argue when I told her to take her time.

Shona came over in the afternoon, once her exercise class had finished and that gave Scamp somebody else to talk to. She stayed for a while talking to Scamp about Ben and the changes in him. I had a wander round the garden and got a few photos, but the sun was sinking quite quickly. I walked over to Condorrat to get Fish ’n’ Chips for all three of us. By the time Shona was going home, Scamp was beginning to look tired. She has just gone to bed.

I’m getting tired myself and I think I’ll head for bed soon. Isn’t it strange that the days when you don’t do much are the ones that leave you tired. There’s probably a reason for that somewhere.

PoD went to a little Japanese Anemone it’s much smaller than the ones we were admiring in the summer, but it is winter now.

We might go out for coffee somewhere, just to get out.
