summer closing

I's not often we venture out to such events with the rest of Melbourne but we headed in for White Night and roamed about the car/ tram free streets admiring our city, all lit up in the balmy evening. Fed Square was particularly lovely - at night time it feels other-worldly.

Finished another book, savouring every quiet moment of immersion in case it's my last read for a while....

Back at Uni; I'm taking my private singing lessons with a wonderful South Indian woman who I know will stretch me beyond my comfort zone. I've always wanted to learn Classical Indian singing so this is my little window of opportunity.

How was that rain last night/ this morning!!!? From whence did all that water come? So very welcome it was. Soothing balm for our dry, dusty souls. I'm excited about Autumn like a child anticipating Christmas. Winter too. I look forward to rugging up; hunkering down; stews and soup; wrapped in a blanket reading in bed with a cup of tea...
But first, glorious Autumn - bring me your rusty tones, your consistency, your mild, clear days and cool nights.
