Boo!

[poliphilo]

 I turned off the computer, got up from the desk- and found I was groping my way in the dark. The cat was at my feet, but I couldn't see him; and only knew he was there because he was talking to me. It was 8.30 p.m.

I know that Autumn has been creeping up on us. I've been ticking off the signs: a fallen leaf blowing in through the door, the dying off of the Michaelmas daisies, a friend serving up an apple and blackberry crumble made from fruit picked in her garden- but yesterday evening it felt like it had jumped out of a cupboard at me and gone "Boo!"

I'd been suspecting an early Autumn this year and we certainly seem to have one! The hills had vanished again this morning.
