I've just spent about an hour on a post, filled with lots of imagery and adjectives, only to lose the thing!
Here are the notes instead:
* autumn here but feels/looks like spring - gorgeous flowers everywhere
* green as far as my eye can see after 5 1/2 inches of rain...should remain so now until the end-of-year wet season rains
* I am winning at Monopoly after avoiding Mayfair and its hotels, mostly by surpassing my previous "in jail" record (has nothing to do with playing a nine-year-old...she's merciless)
* away on a holiday for the next week or so, so may miss the arrival of 'The Inheritance' if it doesn't turn up in tomorrow's mailbag (though I just might buy a second copy if that happens!!!)
* won't be home until after I fly down to meet with Robin Hobb in Brisbane, as well as catch up with my eldest son, so I hope to have lots to share when I return...
