Autumn

I'm feeling very Autumnal at the moment, it could be the impending new academic year for most, or the drastic change in climate from Malta to the "gloomy" UK, but I find myself wondering when the leaves will start to change and fall. I am starting to long for the blustery wet days that usually accompany this, and being able to wear my leather trench coat to uni, needing to. I also can't wait to do the barefoot walks to uni once again, those crunchy leaves! Oh! How inviting to the feet! It's one of the weirdest feelings in the world, to have a leaf crumble beneath you, and I'm looking forward to experiencing it again.

And then with the coming winter; there's my birthday, colder days, so cold you have to keep moving, and frost, perhaps a little snow too, here and there. Most of all I'm looking forward to winter because of Christmas. This year Mark is set to share Christmas at my house, and to say I'm looking forward to that would be a gross understatement, though much must be done before then; my first semester for this year should be completed by then. To say the least, it'll be a rush nearing the time, but I'm still looking forward to it with high expectations.

In other news, I've started dreaming about baby's. Though I've only been with Mark for a very short time, my body and subconscious mind seem to have been scheming and decided that now I'm in a relationship that's good for me, I should have a child. Well, here's some news for you scheming body parts: I'm not ready to have kids yet!

Since my return from Malta there has been a new addition (well several really) to my desk. It was a present from my lovely Mark, and something I had my eye on that he knew about. A blue, black and clear glass elephant from Mdina glass over there. It's so beautiful, I catch myself idly staring at it. The fact that it also looks like it's yawning makes me fall even more in love with it.

Lizzie was away last night, so I was all alone in the house. I have to say, this didn't make a huge difference from norm, I mean, it's not like I ventured out of my room more than to make food. I didn't even really notice the absence.

A momentous occasion also happened last night. Hayley, Mark and I met Sean on skype for the first time. It was fun because he felt no harm in poking fun at people, especially me because I was kinda failing to monk (but having fun) and slagging off the warriors who were actually terrible. Hopefully he enjoyed it and will be on again soon when we're all about and doing something fun. He also didn't confuse Hayley and me, so that was good.

Anyway, it's breakfast time, enjoy your days dear readers.
