But day by day there are slight changes, subtle alterations in shape, in the mood of the season, it is as though everything is slipping and sliding very gradually downhill, like some great high hayrick sinking softly into itself as it dries. The year has turned and it is autumn, though we do not fully acknowledge it.

I hope it cools down for you soon, Tabor! Looks like we are going to be back in the 80s all next week, so there’s still plenty of summer left here, too, even things are changing.
