Light And Dark

 Ailz bought some solar lights that clip onto the gutter for lighting up the shadowy area outside the back door. Every morning I take them down and put them in a place where they can soak up direct sunlight in preparation for the evening shift.

The forecasters said we'd have a sunny October: they weren't wrong. I wonder whether their prophesy of a particularly cold and snowy winter will prove as accurate.

We were watching the first part of The Deathly Hallows last night. It says a lot for the grip that Harry Potter had (still has?) on the collective imagination that such a relentlessly gloomy- nocturnal and wintry- movie should have been a box office success.
