I began this blog on October 1st 2013 when I was 6 months away from my 50th Birthday and wanted to daily record my year with the blog ending on September 30th 2014. Five years later as I approached 55 I repeated this. Now ten years after this all began as I prepare to reach my 60th birthday in 2024 once more a daily update beginning on October 1st 2023 and ending on 30th September 2024. It is a personal journey, which others may find mind-numbing!

October 4th 2013
It's raining quite hard this morning, and has done so all night. It's also feeling very humid and warm, 16 degrees in fact at 7am. It is one of those moist warmth's we get down here in the South West when Tropical storms scudding over the Atlantic ocean finally reach us in a much reduced state of energy. It is also very autumnal now. The long dry July and August are well behind us and as I walked into work this morning at 7.30am through the street of Bristol, a confetti of golden leaves fell all around me onto the sodden pavements of Clifton.
After early spring, I love autumn above all other seasons for the change in seasons it brings with it. A sense that its time to slow down and retreat, put the fires on and hibernate.
