Hot

 All through August and September, I told myself that come October, the weather would be nice. I imagined lovely warm days, where walking for a few minutes or cooking a meal wouldn't make me sweat! The first few days of October were nice, a bit hot, but okay. Yesterday and today, however, we were back to summer temperatures! Today the high was 33C here, 34C where Hannah is! One good thing is that the nights a cool, I actually woke up shivering the other night!

I actually made a start on the closet in my room!

I spent an hour sorting socks!

The sock problem.

Somehow, we end up with a massive collection of odd socks! I try so hard to keep them together when doing laundry, but we still end up with a lot of odd socks!

This is not a new problem. When we moved to the old house, about 16 years ago, I had 2 boxes and a basket full of odd socks! I remember spending time trying to sort them out, only to realise that I had moved these boxes of socks from two different houses! Why was I dragging around boxes of odd socks? To try to save a bit of money?  So after I sorted out as many as possible, I threw away the rest. I think I'll do the same this time. I'll have another look through, also I need to pull out all the stuff in the closet as I think there might be a few more at the very back, after that I'm going to throw them out! Or maybe roll some up into balls, put some catnip on them and let the cats play with them!

I have to make room in this closet for some of my books. One of the bookcases I'm using in my read nook is ready to collapse, so I need to store my books somewhere until I can get a new or second-hand bookcase!

I'm thinking of getting some for the room that we are going to teach in, but I need some with glass doors because of the cats! Once I have a bit of money, I'll have a look round!
