It's a beautiful day today and after getting some reading done I'm really looking forward to some time off. When the children finish school today we're driving to T.'s parents, which I'm sure will result in a weekend full of interesting conversation, good food, and perhaps also a lot of photos.

Winter has not yet arrived here. It's still pretty warm even though the leaves remaining on the trees are getting fewer and fewer. It's also getting dark in the late afternoons, so I've begun to look forward to lighting candles and the feeling of Christmas.

Aaah... I'd better get some things done before we leave.
