Cold cold cold. We have had three quite cold days for mid-September. The temperature during the last few nights was down to 8 or 9 °C. And during the days the maximum has been 17 °C – if you were lucky to stand in a sunny spot where the wind couldn’t reach you. Today I went outside with a fleece sweater and a coat, but I still ended up freezing. For some reasons my hands and feet always immediately turn to ice when it cools down in fall.

On the plus side, fall is great because pumpkin beer and apple cider donuts are finally back. The farmers at Union Square Market sell plenty of great produce like squash and plums. And after all there suddenly don’t seem to be any wasps anymore. It probably is too cold for them.

I am still hoping for a few warmer days, esp. since the idea at school is to leave all doors and windows open at all times – and I am not sure I can turn up there in a ski suit. I also don’t own one. Yet.
