Last October
Just when I thought it was safe to update... LJ has a Halloween look. :-D
Right. What I really wanted to write about was that this is the weirdest end of October yet. It's sunny outside, and the leaves are turning colour, the mornings are cool and we just got the hour back we lost at the beginning of summer (which means I am now once more able to go to sleep before midnight and wake up before eight o'clock), yet the temperatures are far from autumnal. Summer just isn't letting go, we're getting temperatures up to 22 degrees celsius. Which led to a strange thing happening on Saturday: I was sitting in an outdoor cafe with a once-friend, now-aquaintance (long story), having a cool beverage, when suddenly there were strains of that song in the air: "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart..." Argh!
Mom and I did some gardening over the weekend, mainly to clean up. As a reward, I got a bouquet of the last roses, which is now in my living room, and smells beautifully.
On the downside, again one of the classes I give at the people's university (VHS) is not taking place due to too few participants. I think this will be the last time I offer these courses. I started doing them at the end of the last century (1997, to be exact), and I learned a lot through doing them, such as being able to step out in front of people and holding forth on a given subject, answering questions and teaching people. But planning these classes that don't take place, and having a schedule planned half a year in advance, just doesn't cut it for me at the moment. I need to concentrate on other things.
Y'all have a good Samhain now.

Good Samhain to you too :)

I do like Celtic knotwork, and have a couple of cloths and throw rugs like that. I sometimes think I'm a Celt trapped in a German's body. ;)
