It has been a bit over a week since my last post, and what a week it has been! Work has been absolutely flat out, but the weather here has been outstanding! I love the change of season from summer to autumn probably the best of all the season changes.
The majority of the heat has gone out of the days and night temperatures are perfect for sleeping. The sun is not streaming in through the window particularly early, so that luxury of the weekend sleep in is spot on at the moment.
The grass is not growing so fast, so the mowing duties have begun to slow. The winter crops can be planted in the garden now while it is still warm enough to get them off to a great start. This truly is an amazing time to be alive.
The diet begins to take on a different feel with the BBQ's slowing down a bit, to be replaced by casseroles, stews and soups. The beer gets replaced a little with dark ales and red wines - all together just perfect!
And then there is AFL! The cricket season is all but over and the AFL season is about a week away. I am an unashamed and long suffering Fremantle Dockers fan who has eternal optimism at the beginning of every season that this one will be our year!
And I guess that is what the changing of the seasons signifies for me - change and optimism. The change from summer to autumn brings the promise of relief from the hitherto unrelenting heat and dryness from the sun A promise of much needed rain and a break from the heat with chilly winter days and nights.
Getting out of bed on cold winter mornings is hard admittedly, as is getting to work when it is still dark. But at the end of the day, getting back into that warm bed is undoubtedly a highlight. But this is still months away.
The rain thundering down on the roof on a Friday night is an absolute delight - especially knowing that you don't have to get out of bed and go to work on Saturday morning - you can just ay there and relax, listening to it tumble down and recharge the much depleted water supplies of Perth. But this is still months away.
I love this time of year! Just for right now, everything seems in balance (except for work/life maybe). For me, this is how it should be.
What are your thoughts? I would love to read your comments.
Until next time,
