Weather turned a bit carp lately.... Not looking forward to winter.
That’s how I feel, too, and we get a lot less winter down south. I don’t know how you cope with the very short days.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Several years ago, my brother (the one that married a Scot and lives in Scotland) went with his family to visit a friend of his who'd moved to Atlanta. They went during whatever the Scottish equivalent of the October half term is called. When they got out of the plane, my niece was astonished at the weather. When it was explained to her that it is like that all year round in Georgia, she asked incredulously "Why does anybody choose to live in Scotland???"Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Hope all's well for any NPs in the museum part of London.

In East Anglia I hated the bitterly freezing cold winters that often brought ice/snow from Siberia from the beginning of November to the end of February. Was glad to move South West as it was "warmer" ... and discovered it manages that by being wetter ...and that the South West is WINDIER! Hate the wind.
With weather, it's difficult to win in this country.0 -

When I lived in East Anglia, visitors always remarked on the cold wind which locals had assured me were just gently warmed by the Baltic on their way from Siberia.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Oh dear.That would require teamwork and shared objectives in the parenting
Yes, I suppose it would. 🙁
It took me a very long time and a load of grief before I realised how important it was to 'stand and stare' for periods of time, ranging from a couple of minutes to a few months, in certain circumstances.Oh Sue!
So very sorry to hear how tough it's been, but all credit to you for getting through it to the right outcome, especially having to deal with all that for Josh while at the same time helping Joe get ready for his big move.
As Pyxis says, rest now. Rest as long as your body tells you to. One day, you will unexpectedly find you have some energy, and then it will be time to start a little gentle progress towards creating a new life for yourself as an empty-nester (well, a term-time-only-empty-nester, anyway). But try to resist that gung-ho mind of yours that will probably try to make you feel guilty about resting.
I've like listening to audio books while driving or doing housework, and recently I've been listening to this one. It has some interesting stuff about rest, and feeling guilty about rest, in one of the later chapters.
Waking sleep can be just as important as sleeping sleep, iyswim.Hope all's well for any NPs in the museum part of London.
I've been incommunicado and in-internetado for most of today. Has something happened?(I just lurve spiders!)

But 'fortunately' just a road traffic accident rather than anything sinister. The road there has some funny lines on it and I wonder if they might have caused an epilectic seizure in the same way as strobe lights can?A car mounted the pavement and injured many pedestrians.I think....0 -

I believe that if you stand on the top of Ely cathedral and look directly east, there is nothing at the same altitude until you get to the Urals !!!
No wonder it can get a tad parky in Eastern England when there's an easterly wind blowing
