Here's hoping, indeed.
Well, I have beer and wine, and crisps, and cheese and bread....
No (fresh) tomatoes, though. And no cream.
Got a tip for us?

Keep the wind.
Beer and crisps as well as some fresh bread and cheese sounds delightful.
Tomorrow I get my weekly ration of sliced wholemeal bread from the freezer. Hardly the same thing!
Yes, it is delightful, actually: Beer and crisps and (French) bread and (lots of different) cheese will suffice for the week-end.
Yes, the wine can wait until I have ordered (some) more vegetables and meat next week, or the following week.
Mind you, I do have some aubergines, courgettes and peppers, (both chilli peppers and standard peppers), plus potatoes, onions and garlic, and, I also have guanciale (pork cheek, Mrs AFB will know of it, it is better than pancetta, to my mind), plenty of tins of San Marzano tomatoes, and loads of pasta and rice, so I'm fine for food.
Plus, loads of fruit.
Oh, dear.
Well, do take the time to enjoy it when you do fetch it out from the freezer.
The autumnal equinox - this year, it falls today, and not on the more usually assumed date of 21st-22nd September - is very much on my mind.
Now, we are entering into the half of the year that I do not much (or, at all) care for, although I do quite like autumn.

Today was very sunny and warm. But once evening comes around it is much chillier.
I don’t care for this time of year either. Too many dates I try to put at the back of my mind at this time of year.
Dry farmed tomatoes, the best of the year, are finally here! Available a few weeks in September-October. Since they get minimal water they are small so the flavor isn't diluted. Taste bombs.

Those look very tasty. As regards autumn, after a few rainy and chilly days we have sun and blue sky. However, it is windy in the Geneva Lake region which means it is still chilly, September and October tend to be like that in even with sun as the evenings are rather cool as is any shade or cloud. I realize I have to dig out my fall and winter sweaters and jackets - I have plenty of hats fortunately (necessity of having a naked scalp 
) though the lighter ones are going back to storage.

They look absolutely delicious, positively mouth-watering.
Been dry here. Had a power cut earlier. Most likely due to the high winds.
Well, heavy showers (and yes, high winds.....)
Sigh.
Well, at least, it is still beight, but not weather you could think of venturing out in.
I would make some nice thoughtful tattoos if I were you with that uncluttered space 😉🤔Those look very tasty. As regards autumn, after a few rainy and chilly days we have sun and blue sky.

Running up and down between my attic and cellar storages.
Our condominium will offer a container to trash some stuff in soon. I indeed found some stuff that would be good to get rid of. Old music/stereo equipment, speakers etc. will have to go, as selling it won’t bring much anyway. Was many years I brought it out from the living space. The 4x computer speakers have been enough in 2 rooms.
The purchase of 2 HomePod’s makes old speakers extinct even.
So I will make a lot more running rounds here to through away some stuff when the container arrives.

Couldn’t you donate it to charity rather than trash it? Seems very wasteful.
Agree completely with @Apple fanboy .
@Lioness~: Somebody - especially with the cost of living crisis - could surely find a good home (and make a warm welcome for) some of this stuff.
Ok, guys. I leave the sound equipment for now. See where I can donate or sell it even, at a later time.
It’s no bad sh#t, but no time for it now.
I had 2 broken down office chairs that will go for sure, plus more, so I will have running rounds up and down for sure anyway.

I don't know about where Lioness lives, but our local charity will only take clothes. They were given so much other stuff (electrical, kitchenware, books, etc) over COVID that they can't take any more.
It's been raining all day, and the forecast says it'll continue throughout the day... I might have to take out my rain jacket if that's the case.
Lol. We never leave without them in the UK! Been dry today though which was nice as I had a day off.
Rain? What’s that?
The wind usually comes from the southwest and the rain always seems to skirt around where I live. It gets deposited east and north, where the elevation is higher.
Got something in the mail today about applying to be a “Roads Scholar”. Roads not Rhodes. I am very suspicious. I suspect it’s a scam of some sort.
Maybe it's from the Jack Kerouac school.
I’m just loving doing nothing on Monday. Last week was too intense. Four days in Manhattan. Plus, I didn’t get to see the new iPhones as there was a lineup to get in. Even when I got back home there was no relief. Monday was the first day to recover…
