Today, in fact overnight too, it has been very windy but the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Sure sign that Autumn is finally here. Of all the different aspects of weather I think the wind, when it is high, is the most destructive. I don’t much care for the wind at all.
I was pretty tired last night and went to sleep listening to the wind whistling outside. It didn’t take long before I was in the Land of Nod though. So this morning when I awoke I didn’t feel like having a lie in. I decided to go out and buy some light fittings…..as you do! For many weeks now I have been thinking about having lights on my dressing table mirror for the dark mornings ahead. One light on the ceiling isn’t really sufficient when applying make-up but during the summer months when it is light early in the morning there is enough daylight to compensate. My dressing table is situated in front of the windows so that natural light is on my face. In the winter however, when I get up, it is still dark. So off I went and purchased two light fittings and returned to fit them. A bit of a wiring job and the making of two brackets saw the job finished and I tried them out. There are six lights in all, three each side but they are quite bright even though I’d bought low energy lamps. I also fitted a switch behind the mirror to switch them on but I think I might have to change that for a dimmer type! At least I’ll be able to see my face properly in the mornings now! By the way……….it’s still windy!
