Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from
hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5.
Expect less.
Not bad advice.

Getting older
In some ways those days seem like only yesterday. All our futures were before us. On the other hand, it is an age ago.
Second chance
A very moving, but uplifting, account from a Paris hostage.

No snow
We seem to have missed the snow. But there is a biting cold noth wind,
it is dry and the sun has come out. It would not surprise me if we got a frost tonight. This would
be the first time this autumn. Up to now it has been very mild.
This afternoon we are doing a walk in the village, but we will have to dress up in warm clothes.

FTSE 100 and Dow
The FTSE 100 is recovering but it would only take a successful terrorist
attack in the UK or USA to send both the FTSE 100 and the Dow into a
downward spiral.
UPDATE 2045z: The FTSE 100 ended the day just marginally higher on the day.

Wind
We are about to get our worst storm so far this autumn with gusts later tonight of 60mph. The worst is expected at 2200z. This is very far from the hurricanes seen in the USA and Caribbean areas.
Nonetheless, it should help to bring down the leaves which remain on the deciduous trees. I hope no-one has to cope with floods. The garden looks its best in spring. Now most of the leaves have fallen it is starting to look bare and "winter". Thankfully the nights start to get shorter from late December. By mid-February, even though winter, there are clear signs that spring is on the way.

Who visits?
My blog visitors puzzle me.
My amateur radio (mainly) blog gets around ten times the visits of this blog and yet people still come back here! Already today this blog has had more visits than at the weekend for the whole day. As far as I can tell, there is nothing special today. This blog is updated most days. It is usually an eclectic mix of thoughts - some days politics, others finance, family etc.
