By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze.

A day out in the Backwaters was a good way to chill out and let other people do the work. Two boatmen punted our wooden boat along the rivers and canals not far inland from Cochin.
Now it's 6pm and almost dark but it's still 28C and 'feels like' 34 degrees. It was slightly hazy too, which probably knocked a few degrees off the thermometer.
Today was a day of miscommunication. We don't seem to know whether we are coming or going.
Ohhhmy God, please........
It's Monday. 'Nuff said.
I hope I will be brave and go in the cold weather to catch a bus a give back my delayed library loans to the library at last.
@Hevio - it was 18:50 or ten to seven! Meditate - you'd be amazed how time flies!
@Lynne - Hmmmm I'm trying to work out which day of the week it is. I suppose it's Monday as there's more traffic out in the streets.
@Elfish - Be brave!
Dear diary - It's my turn to be brave and go out to find an ATM. It's too hot right now but when I pay for my room here, my purse will be a bit empty.
Dear diary,
I'm just getting ready for the last Beat the Monday Blues session of 2013. I'm actually feeling quite nostalgic.

I went to find some real coffee. Ironically the only decent stuff in a packet was to be found in Coffee Day, the national coffee chain. Even though coffee is grown locally, the only kind I found in the shops was mixed with chicory and hopelessly overpriced.
Dog walk - tick

Time for pizza.
Right now when I was cooking the dinner I start singing a song that made me remember him, my heart sinks, I feel so much his abscence and I won't be able to see him until March or July, so I came here to forget him a little when I think about te words which I can put here. If English was more easy to me I think it would not do any effect, but I have to think to much to be able to chose these few words and it helped me a lot.
Thank you one more time diary.
On the lunch time I went to the Triumph Motorcycle's store to bother a seller, he swer I will buy one, who knows in two years?
And I need one more point to see if with 400 points I win a new star.
[spoiler=does not contain profanity] It is a Brazilian barbecue and they both don't are the same[/spoiler]
I created two badges today, to make up for not doing any last week.
I earned two more badges!!! :x
I made a coffee without any coffee today. Imagine my face as I started pouring hot water.
-But hubby, we don't have powder or sugar either.
-So don't do it, will be too bad.
