Autumn - 20091005

When my nose starts sneezing, which means, the signal of autumn arrival, is on.

The irritating global warming delays the coming of autumn. We used to gradually put on the deep blue cardigans from mid-September, some 10 years ago, when I was still in secondary school. Now, sleeveless shirts are still omnipresent in October. Excellent for gentleman's sight, but not as good as for the electric bills.

Though the temperature is still high, and the mercury in the thermometer could surge to as high as 32 degree Celsius in the afternoon, luckily, the descending humidity smothers the killing effect of the heat. Under the balmy sunshine, people could relax, through jogging on the road, or sunbath beside the pool.

Sometimes, thanks to the dry air, your allergic runny nose and itchy dry skin could drive you mad. However, most of the time, autumn is so cute that you just put up with its handicap, and embrace it without a second thought. Huh, like a lovely woman.
