This week the temperatures have dropped. Duvets are back on beds and sweaters have reemerged. It made for a cold night on Friday, when we optimistically set out to hunt for the Aurora Borealis. Unfortunately we couldn't hold out long enough to enjoy the light show (if there was one) but we did manage to get far enough away from light pollution to see some amazing starry skies and shooting stars.
Warm jackets were needed yesterday as well, as we went to tick another lighthouse off our visited list. E5N1 is doing an art project at school on lighthouses and at the moment, will happily spend hours poring over images of lighthouses from all over the world. Although yesterday's lighthouse it is not the most imposing of structures, it does famously get lit up for Christmas and Christmas in July (because one Christmas is not enough!). Plus, it is winningly known as Nubble light.
Aside from that and a shared meal with friends on Friday, it has been a quiet weekend. Now everyone is back at school, the weekends are recovery times. We did this in one of our favorite ways this afternoon, with a board game blow out (Exile #4 was generally victorious, as usual) and a catch up on Doctor Who. Oh, and a relaxed dinner, which, included a spillage. In the course of clearing up we discussed some people's innate lack of coordination. "I'm clumsy too," I said. "No," interjected E5N1, "you're forty-two."
