Autumn has so far included:
my partner getting quite a bit of surgery
my daughter turning 12
weather too hot for autumn
floods
soup made out of anything left in the fridge
bike riding again, finally
him, oil painting
me, submitting an essay for a book
an engagement cake
the storm shall pass
preparing the kitchen garden for replanting
a new job, and having to take my kids to work for the day because my partner is re-admitted for surgery, and the 7 yr old getting lost after taking himself to the toilet while I am away at a one and a half hour meeting (I know!) and coming across a stately gentleman in the corridors and asking him where I might work and that man, of course, being the CEO, and him telling my son to go down there and hang a right.. and taking my kids home later that evening at precisely the correct time because by then my son was relaxed enough to flip the bird to himself in the mirrors in the elevator.
