Saturday, October 5

I have started my morning with a brisk forty minutes walk. The trees have that brief red and gold look that happens in early autumn. The pavements have it too where leaves have dropped and not yet suffered rainstorms.

About twenty minutes into the walk I pass these bright red leaves in the mesh where they grow, vine-like, every summer.

I decide not to listen to music. Instead I think about the things I need to do before we go to India in eight days time. I stop a couple of times to add items to Todoist as they occur to me.
