just like that

I wrapped October around me like a fuzzy blanket, and I've tried to enjoy the transition into the darker months of the year whilst the trees in Vierhoutenstraat are busy turning into a blushing bonfire. Mornings spent alone watching people walk their dogs in the rain.. They look funny with their raised shoulders and squinted eyes. My summer freckles have faded and I feel sad that I can no longer count them. It smells like coffee and I can hear the surkling from the kitchen counter, all the way to the living room. Our apartment is getting cold, but it makes the steam twirl for a little longer, so it ain't all that bad.

Apart from that, the nights are getting longer, the moonlight brighter. I do enjoy being able to observe the constant changes around me, I have missed that. This is my first autumn in years! I've opened bottles of wine/ bottled up my feelings of loneliness. I've woken up, gone to work, had a drink and gone to bed. Just like that, October came and went.
