Today was apartment-cleaning day, and other than that, we spent the day indoors, trying to recover from yesterday’s walk. It rained today and was rather cool, so we were not in any mood to walk the Peyrou. It seems we spent the entire time on our computers.
Roger went to chess but came home early. He said he got too cool with only the light jacket he wore. As the days progress into late fall, he may have to wear his new black jacket.
The days are getting cooler here. I have never lived this far north and it surprises me how low in the sky the sun is, even at midday. The sun sets earlier every day. In fact, it hides behind the building across from us about 3:00 or so, although actual sunset is around 5:00 now. It is hard to believe that it will be setting at 4:30 by Christmas. Of course, sunrise is creeping later as well - pushing past 8:00 already. I have spent all my adult life living below the 30th parallel, so this is something that takes some getting used to. Fortunately, it won’t be too long before things will begin to turn around. I will look forward to those times!
Check out this jowlly dog we encountered! He must be pretty old, as he moved rather slowly and with a bit of a limp. His owner had to hold him up so I could get a good photo.
