Good morning peevers.

One down, one to go.

Initial trips to Miss J's new apartment that is.

I'm heading off there some time today in order to drop off more stuff and pick her up.

The distance isn't too far- around 170 miles there and back but the journey can be a pain at times. I'm aiming to vary the route so that I don't get bored.

One thing that is becoming ever more noticeable these days is the shortening of the day. There is a marked difference between the lengths of the day throughout the year.

That difference was not so pronounced in Houston, so how is it where you are?

I'd be interested in your replies to today's POTD, which is;

The days are really starting to get shorter.

Forget the days, the weeks and months are getting shorter! At least it seems that way! I haven't noticed days getting shorter yet.

Following on from yesterday's shots of that old car here is a follow up showing it on display a couple of years ago;






A Morgan;



Does this ring a bell with anyone?

But that's not a peeve of mine at least. My electric bill is getting lower.

Is the last pic a a Jag? I'm guessing because of the long front end. Takes a lot of length to squeeze 12 cylinders in. (probably not i don't see the hood emblem) The Morgan is wicked cool!

Good morning Jezer and Peevers!
Good peeve and excellent pics too! All the car enthusiasts out there are likely to be over the moon! LOL

When I looked at the first car, I suddenly was overcome with memories of watching "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with my kids. (Giant Grins)

Shorter days, changes in the seasons, I love the change. I love how each season brings a change in the sunlight. In the spring, the sunlight is a lighter shade of yellow... summer it is a warm, strong yellow... in the fall it takes on golden tones and winter is is more of a whiter light.
Or at least that's the way my eyes have perceived it.

Great peeve and fun pics Jezer!!!

The shorter days aren't causing me a problem YET. They could later. One of the things that can really slow you down delivering mail wise is delivering it in the dark. I have a miner's light thing to wear but, it's still a real pain to have to put it on and use it. Plus, you have keep an eye on the batteries.
