Summer's end

And so summer officially ends here in the Netherlands and most of the northern hemisphere.

Temperatures drop rapidly, clouds and rain are large parts of the weather menu. I think we had a good summer here. Hardly any days at or over 40C (104F in US-ian), and plenty of sunshine.

While the southern side of the world is preparing for the nice weather, I hope Australia etc won't face the huge fires that made a big problem there over the last years, but I seriously don't hold my breath.

Wouldn't it be nice to a have a better world? Not a perfect one, because there is nothing like that. What's awesome for you, the naked rock climbing on bare feet, wearing that

cute, pink helmet, might not be someone else's cup of tea, but a better world would let you do that when you want.

Odd, huh, the thoughts that can come up while contemplating the end of summer.

I hope you, dear reader, had a good summer. One with many things to recall, and that our southside world citizens will have an equally good one. Let's stay positive, there's already too much negativity in the world. Don't let the darkness of autumn and winter get to you. Be the sun that so many people crave in these dark times.
