Quiet around here

 As I have mentioned previously, we live in a University area and there are a lot of students living in houses renting apartments and rooms for the academic year.   Most of them that live within driving distance must have gone home for the long holiday weekend.   There is no one walking past our house to and from the campus.   It feels just like it did last year, when most of the students were studying at home.  The only young people here were international students as they were unable to fly home.   All will be back to normal again on Tuesday.

Dull and cloudy today and rain is forecast, once this system is out of the way it looks as if we might have another nice week coming up.   I will then try and get all of the flower beds ready for Winter, I have been putting it off, but the time has finally come.

The trees in our neighbourhood and around the countryside are just now starting to show some colour, not very pretty at the moment as the Maples have yet to start turning. 

Our neighbour came to say goodbye yesterday, she and her husband are returning to Poland to live.  They sold their house fully furnished to another neighbour who now has rented out the rooms to students.  

Dinner last night was really good, we still have some of the meat sauce, so will have that with something again tonight, it will not be spaghetti.

As my title suggests, it is quiet around here.
