Autumnal Tones

Here are four orange things that have come into my life in the last week.

1. Woolly Jumper.

This used to belong to my brother. I've released it from life in a bin bag in my parent's garage. 

2. Snazzy kicks. 

Snazzy is a terrible word. It's naffer than the word naff. I digress. 

These runners are from the gold mine that is my brother's out of favour belongings. They're not really orange but they're a bit orange. I'm including them because when I wear them with the above jumper the coordination gives me a sense of enormous well being. Sadly these little canvas fellas don't stand a chance against the rain in Galway in November.

3. IKEA candle.

Carol treated me to this lovely festive pumpkin scented candle. It smells amazing. IKEA strikes again. The owl dish was a gift from a friend and fellow owl appreciator, Phil. 

4. Carrot and Orange Soup.

This image isn't really very informative. There is a baby pumpkin there to confuse you. The soup is pumpkin free. The soup recipe is from BBC GoodFood. I like it a lot though it is less of a meal than any other soup I've ever made. It well be a nice addition to lunch rather than lunch itself. Pocket friendly too.
