A mad rush to get out of the house this morning, for choir at school at 8 a.m. F eating his cereal in the car, and yelling at D to slow down so as not to spill the milk We picked up K & T on the way, and all felt for a moment like we could be heading off on a road trip, into the fog and rain, like we did in this faithful 4WD a few years back.
Then we arrived at school early and sat on the stairs outside the hall, chatting. D and F kicked a soccer ball on the grass. Finally we made a call and found out choir wasn’t on. But it didn’t matter. It was a little holiday, being at the almost deserted school, sitting around. On the way back home I asked D to stop the car so I could photograph this unexpected glimpse of European autumn in the subtropics.

Autumn...a foreign concept here but worth while if we can apply it to ourselves. letting go of all the year's debris so that new life/directions/ideas can flourish instead of hanging onto the stale/bitter unnecessary stuff.
Autumn has been magnificent this year, after all that rain. Unlike the year after the heatwaves where the leaves turned brown and fell straight off.
You are a poet!
