As the days get shorter as winter approaches, I start to get into a panic around 2.30. The day is already starting to fade, school pick up is imminent and extra activities await. On Wednesday’s we don’t have anything to rush off to. That means there’s lots of homework, afternoon tea and I have some extra time to let the washing dry on the line before the chill sets in. It’s cold but the light, that late autumn afternoon light, it’s enough to plain take your breath away.
This is what 4.15pm looks like round here.
What’s 4.15pm look like round your parts?
Fabulous photos as always. Vx
Thanks Vicki – hard to take a bad shot in that light!
4.15pm yesterday looked like three hot, tired and sweaty kids all giving each other hell as we arrived home. School pick-ups during the summer are my least favourite time of the day. There are always tantrums.
I can imagine…how’s the temp for you these days?
It’s actually not too bad at the moment. About 37 during the day, 27 overnight. The humidity hasn’t hit yet. Much better than in Muscat, where we were last week, where it was 43 and humid.
5 weeks today until leave!
Woohoo! It will be toasty by that time! Will we get a chance to catch up??
We are there for just one night – get in at 2.30pm and everyone will be feral but surely we can have a quick drink?
Totally. Let’s touch base before you get here and I can come visit you where you’re staying for a quick beverage and chat!
Excellent x
Lovely photos Beth I like to get the washing in earlier than that if I can it is getting cold here too!
Thanks Lisa!
Love seeing your autumn. By October we have the first few flakes of snow-yours is a lot more fun.
Indeed! Hope things are warming up for you guys!
Gorgeous photos. I like the sound of your Wednesdays. These past few days, 4.15pm has seen me enjoying a hot cup of lemon and honey tea in my backyard with the puppy by my feet. A couple of sick days have been good for this here sickie.
4.15…all the washing in and blinds closed and heater gearing up. Were nestled in under the escarpment so afternoon sun is short and sweet. I’ve been known to roll a 4.30 dinner for the toddler many a night!
As have we Maddy. I love a 4.30 dins…
Not as lovely as that! In fact, my place looks like a dog’s breakfast until everyone is in bed. Lovely pics Beth. Annie x
Thanks Annie x
