A rainy afternoon; November.
It doesn't matter where you live, occasionally the weather is so foul that you just have to stay indoors, do nothing, light the fire, drink wine, eat MSG laced nibbles, watch trashy TV, and wait for it to pass.
These days are bliss to me..as long as I am not at work of course...pouring rain,coffee on the brew,radio on and reading for Bob sewing for me..mmmmmmmmmmm..today the heat is so fierce we have the air ons on and even George is indoors and it is only November!
yes... we have had some days like that this week. Rainy and cold... a good time to just curle up in a blanket with a book or watch an old favorite movie... a movie marathon day! :)
There is certainly a difference between a soft rain that you can walk in and a nor'easter lashing at the windows! On such days, we give in and just go with the flow indoors. There is a part of me though that always itches to get outside, if only for ten minutes. Hope this foul-weather-spell is brief Cro.
Sounds like true Eden to me, Mr. M. We dodged our blizzard so I couldn't snuggle with my blank-y and hot French vanilla infused coffee. Forget about TV, don't watch much of it, it isn't worth it. I read. Have a wonderful Mr. M Denimflyz
I call them November days, even if it is March. So far, on the east coast on the US, we are having a May in November. After all the awful and destructive weather we have had here this year, we deserve this.
where I come from you just described our winter. We rejoice in the nice days and live with the rest.That's why western washington is so green! glad to see your rugs still in one piece! Linda
Your such a busy fellow Cro., all your building, farming, harvesting...I'm sure a day like this must be a treat for you...but I'm thinking the Universe is conspiring with foul weather days to get you into the studio to a canvas and a paintbrush...no rest for the creative geniuses.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Everything perfect - except I can rarely find any trashy TV worth watching.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what we watched tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTurns a negative into a positive. Lovely dog - I love the way he lies 'around' the rug.
ReplyDeleteLovely scene. Nothing like a bit of TV trash. Does Monty still chew his rug?
ReplyDeleteNot so much, Sue. He now prefers chewing his friend, Bok's, ear.

ReplyDeleteSounds like heaven.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I enjoy days like that, but I don't like too many of them together! I hope your weather improves!
ReplyDeleteyes... we have had some days like that this week. Rainy and cold... a good time to just curle up in a blanket with a book or watch an old favorite movie... a movie marathon day! :)

He looks so comfy. Nothng wrong with an "inside" day.
ReplyDeleteThanks be that we have no TV and all the rest :)
ReplyDeleteTrade the TV for a good book, a cozy afghan, and a couple cats on my lap, and it sounds like heaven.

ReplyDeleteI have to say there is great purpose in those sort of days.
ReplyDeleteActually SO, we've had a beautiful day here today too. Sunshine all day, and about 20 degrees C. If only all of winter was thus!

ReplyDeleteI don't mind such a day but it's the dark sky I find a bit "downing" if there is such a word....if not I'll invent it!....love, love that rug though!
ReplyDeleteMonty's got it right
ReplyDeleteWhat a cosy picture!
