"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
Albert Camus

The leaves are beginning to turn already, the flowers have lost their petals, and the year is rushing past far too quickly.

Today we started planning the Christmas rota at work (!), it's the twins birthday tomorrow, and then it'll be Briony's. That's when it really feels like the year is on a countdown.
Still, Briony is home on Thursday, I can't wait :-)
