Starting to feel a lot more like autumn now, daytime temperatures around 11~12°C (52~54°F). Today is to be 10°C (50°F) max, as are the next few days, it's to remain dry though, which is good. Cold is fine with me in the absence of rain and driving winds.
The autumnal colors are beautiful. 🙂

I'm into classical chamber music...@ 90%, and the rest jazz & blues.
The Netherlands; I would love to live there, up above.
I am outside this morning, and it's so beautiful out that I feel all nice and cozy inside. It's another majestic Autumn day. It's just above 20° Celsius right now, and I know that it'll get close to 30 again today.
Talking about the weather...cold, warm, between...is like talking about life...music...movies...family...all the nature inside and outside people living on the four corners of the globe.
Some people live below near a volcano, others live above, flying like 'Birdman'. - Did you guys see the movie?
What a lovely day! ...I die I live again. - From Mad Max: Fury Road
Folks up above here are most up above, ~6'4'' average, and rather blunt (compared to my slick southern 'charm').
IIWY, I'd reconsider.
Bob, please forward me the name of your prescribing physician via PM - I could use some of those meds right now
I want one of his thermometers.
Still, truth be told, it's 20º right now so it's shorts and a Hawaiian shirt for the dog walk. Starting now (2:45) and ending at 4:30 and I'll be glad I have nothing more on.

1. "Up above" means flying high and looking @ the view down below from up above.
2. My thermometer went up to 26° Celsius this afternoon, no bull.
3. My family doctor, she is very nice, gives me all type of colorful candies, but only when I ask for some. Last time I got some must have been twenty years ago if not more...for a bad headache from a girlfriend who had lost her temper with a baseball bat! 😀
Now if you please would excuse me it's time for my jelly/peanut butter sandwich and then on the to cabaret (strip joint). 😀

Québécois Bob,
if I climb all the way up to the top of a hill, and look down, I can almost see the surface 3ft below my shoes.
Up north, there are no hills.

Quebec is not as impressive as the Netherlands Jac...mountains wise.
In Canada the Rockies are our best chain.
* It's another great day here...21° Celsius right now. ...On Vancouver Island, not too far from the Rockies.
♦ There are two films that I'm looking forward to see:
- 'Everest'
- 'The Walk'
...And both in (((3D)))
As predicted, the first frost came last night. The dew froze and at 9AM still crunches beneath bare feet. Nice sunny day though.
Depends on the weather and the days maybe, French Bob.
(in young'un times, some were quite trappeured by Quebec fur stories/movies of the past)
Visiting my daughter in DC.
12°C but dry and sunny! Yesterday we took their boat out and then prepped it for the winter.
Good seafood, great place!

All those once famous Quebec salmon rivers are sharing a great decline with ours in Scotland! 😡 A friend has a camp on the Grand Cascapedia, though I've never been invited! 😡
Lord Tweedsmuir, once British Governor General of Canada, dedicated his final rip-roaring yarn - writing under his own name, John Buchan - on the Canadian woodsmen tradition....."Blazing a Trail". [He was Scottish and from "just up the road a piece" (40 miles away)🙂]

You saw them both Jacco? ...In 2D or in 3D.
* From the trailers and my readings 'The Walk' seems to be the one more attractive. But movies are like music or wine; they .... for ....

Overcast here today, 16° right now. Like always I'm outside, and each and every single day it smells more Autumn in the air, and it looks like too and it also sounds from the wildlife and the human activities.

You have those in your yard; they are beautiful.

The Gaspe peninsula (Quebec) is very nice, ...the park, the rivers, the vallons, and the rock with a hole in it. The people are relaxed and friendly, the ocean is all around, and the winters are .... well, you can easily guess ... snow and cold.
Fall time in Perce and its surroundings was my best adventure/visit back when I was much younger.
I've been in Matane, Riviere-du-Loup, Lac St-Jean, in the winter time. I've been @ the Quebec Carnaval in Quebec city. I've seen snow so high that you couldn't see the houses across the street where you live, and I felt the cold so hard on skating rinks outside in the middle of the night (I was watering them when a teenager), that you couldn't stay more than half hour @ a time then the relief guy took over).
One day, skating all alone in Matane, outside with only the winds, and then coming back home, I learned how fragile we humans are when faced with our passions and the elements...I could have died...I was paralyzed to a bed for few days with fever so severe that I still have scarce today in my feet.
If I would be asked if I prefer spend the day inside an oven cranked all the way up or inside a freezer @ full refrigeration degrees on that dial; I would chose neither...I'd stay away from them both. 🙂
I like swimming in all kind of lakes and rivers and oceans, I like saunas too...the natural ones...outside in the forests. I like hot springs, I like flying but I never jumped. ...With or without a parachute.
Life is like the weather, it can fry your brain or freeze it. You just have to stay away from the both extreme ends.
I'm good here on the Island, it's different than living in the mountains, closer to sea level...the air is saltier more humid less dry. But up in the mountains is healthier in general, for the heart and lungs of the ones who are strong.
There is no best place on Earth, ...only on people.
It's not where and what we have, it's who we are.
Frost the last three nights, and they are calling for it again tonight.
Tomato plants and pepper plants are done for. I covered two hot peppers to keep them going. The Kale and Swiss Chard were unaffected.
