PERFECT SLIDING INTO THE WEEKEND
September surprises me like no other month. Days are getting shorter while we're still engaged in daily occurrences, drinks are getting warmer, walking speed increases while the wind is trying to convince me from all sides to walk tall and gracefully. September brings unexpected sneezing episodes at most inappropriate times and places that it is always a mystery to me if they are exhaustion-related colds or too-late-to-the-game-wrapping-up kind of colds. Yes, I play this little game with myself each autumn to winter of how late into the spell my first cold of the season appears. And I mean a super snotty, feverish pants sweating with breath coming in heavy swirls. Then I'll know the cold front is upon us. But each year it comes sooner than I anticipate or can barely cope with the idea of losing at the game. Each year my ballet pumps stay on bare feet for too long while chunky knits await the glorious day I'll check what is going on in my closet (already pushed far to the bottom of my to-do list). Soon enough I'll be sick and sneezing anyway but you know, that's life.
I woke up to a dreary autumn-y day today deciding on inviting my friend for a chill out afternoon with a coffee and a bit of an argument as to raising babies. Then her visiting mum helped me to rearrange wildly growing plant which she called a weed and hardly believed it would survive without enough light for long. It has so far, hasn't it little dude? And don't call my plants weeds as I'm working on it. Work in progress should never be underestimated. The rain didn't clear up for an afternoon walk so we chilled some more at home with Sponge Bob and hot sweet drink in hand.
Tiny candles surfaced all over my desk get along with red fairy lights tangled around its legs grandly. When the gray descends my flat is right cozy and tells a fabulous colour story way before all the festiveness begins. Because the forecast shows rain for the next few days and I won't mind it a bit in my dear little nook of parts and pieces, light and shades.
