Damp fall weather,,,

A cool, drizzly day, and I'm loving it. It isn't freezing cold they way it was on Saturday, and if it was, I'd be prepared for it now anyway. Instead of having no gloves and freezing hands, I had gloves I didn't need to wear. Wonderful!

I asked a Francophone colleague how you say "It's drizzling," in French, and she said she didn't remember. So I looked it up: "il tombait une pluie fin," but we also have the noun "bruine" for "drizzle".

After some soul-searching (or, more to the point, budget-searching), I bought myself an October bus pass. There's been too many times lately when I haven't bothered to do something I'd have otherwise wanted to do because it seemed not worth the while to take the bus. This way at least I won't be fussing over the expense of each bus ticket.

When I got off the bus I saw this fence:



Ahh, I said to myself: it's autumn for sure now.

I love October.
