昨日は夕方5時頃にお茶をしながらテレビを見ていたらふたり共寝てしまい、夜目が覚めてそのまままたベッドに。途中何度か目は覚めていますが、起きてシャワーを浴びたのは7時半。まだまだ、真っ暗でした。今、イギリスの日の出は7時20分頃。
Yesterday, we were watching TV after tea and crumpets and we both fell asleep. We woke up at night and then went to bed. Although I woke up a few times during the night/early morning, it was 7:30am when I actually got up and took a shower so I probably slept 12 hours at least.
昨日は結構良いお天気でしたが、今日はまた雨。明日も明後日も雨の予報ですが、火曜日は曇り、その先はしばらく曇り時々晴れ、っぽいお天気の予報です。雨のせいかどうなのか、ちょっと気持ちがダウンしています。多分、大イベントだった日本でのホリデーが終わって気が抜けてしまったのと、このお天気のせい。イギリスに引っ越してきた時はとにかくシンガポールの暑さから抜け出せて、寒くても雨が多くてもそれほど気にならなかったのですが、流石に最近は、やれやれ、また雨と感じるようになりました。そして、日本でのお天気が良過ぎたので、余計だと思います。まぁ、すぐに普通になると思います。
It was quite nice weather yesterday but has been raining again today. It’s forecasted to rain tomorrow and the day after but cloudy on Tuesday then cloud with sun for the following few days. I don’t know if it’s to do with the rain or not but I’m feeling a little down probably mainly because our big event this year, which was a month’s holiday in Japan, has now gone. Also probably because the weather was so fabulous in Japan, the contrast of that and this English weather is huge. When we moved to England I was so happy that we got away from that hot and humid weather of Singapore I didn’t really care if it was cold or rainy but after a few years, I now sometimes feel a bit down when it rains a lot. I’m sure I’ll be fine soon.
昨日、陽がさしていたときにお庭がきれいだったので、写真を撮りました。
I took a few photos of our back garden because it looked lovely and autumnal when the sun was out yesterday.
でも、花壇の中は落ち葉がたくさん。とにかく、ある程度乾いてくれないことには落ち葉拾いも出来ないので、何日か雨が降らない陽が続いてほしいものです。マルチングも早くしてしまわなくてはいけないですし(今年はガーデナーさんにしていただく予定ですが)。
However, the flower beds are full of wet fallen leaves. Unless it gets a little drier I cannot even collect them, I hope we’ll have a few days of good weather soon so I can get on with gardening. We’ll also have to mulch the gardens soon (we are hoping our gardener can do it this year), too.
