I'm not in love, except with Autumn

Today is Sunday, and I spent it sprawled out in a pile of autumn leaves in Finsbury Park, watching children, dogs and lovers frolic around me in the colourful leaves that littered the ground. It was beautiful.

I'm not in love, I don't have a job, our shower is broken, our internet isn't working, the days are getting colder and darker, and I have no idea what I want from my life, but still, I'm happy. Today, I'm happy.

Adorned with the fleeting warmth of the autumn sun, crunching alone through the leaves with nowhere to go and nobody to see, I realized that for now, this is all I really needed.

This is all I really need.

A Beautiful Fall Day in Oxford

After yet another stressful week, I headed to Oxford for the day on Friday to relax and explore with friends from my program.  It was sunny and crisp, and the city was adorned beautifully in autumn splendor.  We finished it with a great healthy meal at the Nosebage and got nicely drunk on red wine for the bus back to London.  Fantastic.
