Rental properties only have to provide privacy for windows. So use thin blinds that let in light at night, cold in winter and heat in summer. Often no curtain rails, so no insulating curtains possible, which would make such a difference.🪟❄️

The rain stopped and the clouds cleared, and I was able to see the International Space Station pass over this evening. Been a while since I last saw it. 🛰️🚀
The timeless chill of Winters Past. This wonderful autochrome by Antonin Personnaz was taken in colour 112 years ago. It is a window into a past we can almost reach out and touch.

Considering it’ll soon be December, there was a surprising amount still flowering here on my walk earlier for #WildFlowerHour
