The car certainly looks like it!! I change the wallpaper regularly, right now it is a thundering wave on the beach in hurting-blue sunshine. A lot of the time it's my grand-daughter or a sunset or flowers. I just hate these short days, I'm trying to get up with the sun, it's a battle as I'm such a nighthawk.....

The second photo was indeed taken from the drivers seat of my car. I was stopped and as you can see it was rush hour! :roll: Oilseed Rape? Not sure about that Ian, unless it was carried on the wind or by birds. The ground is rather rough in that area, I'd call it sheep country. The photo was taken in July. Ian

Were you taking a photograph out of the car window while driving? I do hope you weren't using your mobile phone with the other hand! Is that yellow Oilseed Rape? It's everywhere - including my garden which is miles from the nearest field. As long as the poor bird doesn’t fly into one of those yokes!

I know ours is coming up soon, because now I walk to the train in pitch blackness. We will go next weekend, right before the election. Then I will walk home in darkness instead. Right now we're having the glorious days of fall, with amazing clear blue skies, maples turning yellow and orange and that special North American bright red that I haven't seen elsewhere. Days that make you crave fresh apples and reconsider cooking with pumpkin and nutmeg. By the time we come home from vacation, I expect it to be cold, gray and dreary. I will live for my kettle and fuzzy bathrobe and I'll look reproachfully at the programmable thermostat when it tells me, hey, listen, <i>you</i> were the one who set me to this temperature. Sounds like you have a good strategy. Stay warm! (BTW, I adore the tern. I think all our robins have left now 'cos we couldn't convince them that global warming made all that migrating irrelevant.)

Perhaps I am allergic to dusk. :lol: @Maryrose - Dear Woman's Magazine lady! :lol: You are correct about the heating it is the way I normally work my boiler and find it efficient. It is also nice if like me, you need to get up in the night, to feel warm air around you. @Nick - I don’t consider the shiver that goes through me in the late afternoons as SAD, it is my ‘bad’ time of day.
