First day of autumn felt like it - rainy all day and high didn't reach seventy. I wished I had a sweater all day- a lovely wish after our killer hot dry summer. It's with a deep sense of relief that I see green growth at the roadside and water flowing in our creeks. It will warm up again before autumn begins to settle into winter, but today was a lovely precurser.

Ruth and Chris and I continue to work on the house. Last night Ruth and I got lots of old stuff, all kinds, down from the attic and were able to send most to the thrift shop with no regrets. Liam is thriving, and thriving right here where I can hug him every day, to my great delight. He is a cuddly armful, but only for a minute, before he cruises off on his next great adventure, lively that one, so loved, and loving life already.

It's great that you were able to tackle some of the attic and send of most of it easily, with no regrets. Sometimes the passage of time can really help to make clear what needs to stay and what can go – things that seemed much more useful, or that we were much more attached to years ago.

It is so wonderful that you are getting to share life so closely right now with Liam. Daily hugs and laughs and love with his Grandma, such special time.

We took some 'stuff' to the thrift shop, plus gave some stuff to people we know would enjoy it. It does feel good to have more space available. We must be in the same frame of mind.
