Fall is so odd. Is someways there is no fall. Its Oct 1st and going to be 25c today. However a fall 25c is so different from a summer one. Right into September it's hot from the moment you wake up till the moment you go to bed. Then suddenly it changes, without warning, like a flick of a switch. That morning when you get up it's cold. The kid are moaning and cannot for the life of them understand why they still need suncream on. They go to school bundled in their sweaters. Yet by lunchtime it's scorchio and everyone is melting in a puddle in the inappropriate clothes they are wearing. California really it all about the layers coming fall time.
Fall is much welcoming in this house - it's great time of year. Halloween costumes are made (Hermione and Sonic this year!), the pumpkins go out, the decorations go up. It's all quite exciting. Especially this year with the imminent arrival of Lily and Archie et al and a trip to Disneyland. Yet a little part of me wishes, after a long hot summer, that I could wear my jeans without overheating. However jeans are definitely a November thing - lots of cold/hot fall days to come!
