The Altweibersommer (Indian summer, literally translated something like "old hags' summer") seems to be definitely over, and autumn has arrived for good. The temperature has dropped significantly, it's cool, grey and rainy.
But if you take a few seconds to stop on your way from rushing from the train station to your warm, welcoming home fter a long day's work, after a long, exhausting week of commuting and working, there are autumn's colours emerging everywhere around, or, as Robert Louis Stevenson calls it "Autumn Fires".
Well, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing more autumn fires flaring up everywhere around me, and I'm really, really, glad summer's heat's over for good :) (even though it really is rather chilly right now...maybe time for a hot white chocolate??)
