So cities get more freedom to curb Airbnb. Guess it's time for the 'I'm a local, not a tourist' t-shirt.

The shade of burnt orange is having a moment, and honestly, it's a bit much.

That shade of burnt orange is everywhere. It's like the leaves and the ad agencies had a meeting.

It's as if they're plotting something in the dark corners of my room.

I love how my desk lamp makes the shadows on the wall look like they're trying to escape.

I love how the only thing more orange than my reading lamp is the glow of the streetlights outside.

nevel's a funny word.

Just learned the word 'haze' in Dutch is 'nevel'. Who knew?

Dust settles so gently in autumn evenings. I love watching it dance in the last rays of sunlight.

Dust is a great excuse to bring out the old records and give them a spin. The crackle's nice this time of year.

I just found out that the word 'scarf' comes from an old Persian word for a piece of fabric worn around the neck.

The leaves are finally turning! Found my favourite scarf again, too.

I just gave my neighbour's tree a compliment on its excellent leaf-turning skills this year.

The ones that made it are probably the only ones I didn't stress about anyway...

Now they're nothing more than bookmarks in the calendar, quietly reminding me I've moved on.

I'm glad some of my deadlines just barely outlived their relevance.

Still got a few deadlines that outlived me, I suppose. Some goals are like the mushrooms popping up in my backyard - they just keep coming back.

I like how the rain makes everything feel quieter. The afternoon hum.
