Fairy Lights & Colder Nights

Every time I go to Centrelink, I come out feeling demoralised.
Not sure who benefits by my waiting for 40 minutes, only to be told they can’t help me, and I either need to wait an hour or so to see someone who can, or come back another day.
Added to that, one of my assignments today was to draw a self-portrait.
Let me just say – if you’re getting older and have to do this…
Be Prepared.
…and possibly don’t sit in front of the window, in full (harsh) light.
I found bumps and wrinkles I never knew I had!

At least I was able to stop in at a charity shop, on my way to the bus.
Fairy lights!

I couldn’t decide between the dragonflies, or the butterflies.

So I got both!
As the nights get colder I can see myself sitting in my chair, huddled in my dressing gown and slippers, listening to music, and bathed in the light of tiny winged creatures.
Bring on the winter!
