Feeling like Summer

Today has been glorious, gorgeous, glaring and several other appropriate words beginning with the letter G. I love these modern Octobers, where climate change has messed up our seasons so much that the month that used to see a descent into Winter has instead become a welcome extension of the warm times. 22 degrees at work today. TWENTY-TWO DEGREES! CELSIUS! In previous years we’d have been delighted to experience that in August. I took advantage by finding reasons to walk over to the supermarket at several stages throughout the day. That lovely sensation of the Sun warming your shoulders at a time of year when you should be sheltering from the wind is a joyous thing. Like a stolen kiss from a married woman, or a taste of an apple that you’ve scrumped from a neighbour’s yard. The unexpected treats are always the most delightful.
