Rain drops in gumboots

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I woke up on a Monday morning and wasn't sure what I was going to do with my day.  I had planned to spend the morning taking photos but alas there was a storm brewing outside.  So instead I am sitting at the kitchen table with my laptop watching old Julia Childs cooking reruns (because I am rereading Julie & Julia for the millionth time and watched the movie again last night with Saba), have a spicy dahl soup simmering on the stove (not one of Julia's recipes!) and can't help but think about the fact that I should really be getting to the gym.  I think the first real day of Autumn has arrived today and I'm not sure I like it. 

Oh by the way what do you think of my new (old) winter hat?  I was actually going to sell it but when I put it on... well what can I say, I fell in love!  It is fur (I'm not sure what kind but it's very soft) which I usually make a point of avoiding, however I figure that this hat is so old that maybe I can make a relatively guiltless exception.

 

 

How was your Monday?
