And for my next impression ...

Emperor Palpatine. 

The theme for today was the cold autumnal weather that has suddenly taken hold. Good excuse for a lie in with two mugs of tea and a new book. Did carry on clearing out the garage - doing rather a fab job actually. 

Spent half an hour being pinned to the ground in the garden in imaginary handcuffs. Long story. All in a good cause.

Actually went to our local pub for the first time in six months. Large glass of very good Corbieres, which made me slightly tipsy. 

Mystic Em joined us in the afternoon. And a nice long FaceTime with TGR who is off on another hike tomorrow - five days on a trail in the Canadian interior. 

Good day in an unspectacular way ...
