Stocking up on refrigerator pickles made from the cut-price, soon-to-be rotten supermarket cucumbers.
Swimming and working out with the kids at the local public pool and gym.
Kid1 spontaneously baking a few dozen cookies (nothing like this has ever happened before!).

Digging deep today
1. Reassuring support from well-informed professionals making me feel a bit better about, y'know, stuff
2. My father agreeing to fund better insulation for the house
3. The end of formal education for my son, who has decided A levels aren't for him. I think this is good as it's been a painful term, but we'll see.

Our bumper crop of mint and anise hyssop. So much tea to look forward to this winter!
Glorious late summer/early fall weather.

Reading on the porch (for the last time this year?) in the few minutes of sun we had this morning.
Live radio, still my favorite way of discovering musicians I haven't heard before (today's take-away is the Mary Wallopers).

1. My daughter reached France safely in the early hours of the morning, via Switzerland and Germany and train, plane and bus πβοΈπ

Chili and cornbread.
Working out with Kid1 at the local public gym (it's small, but it's ours!).
