Yesterday's weather was so lovely; I enjoyed the feeling of walking in the sun (in between shady spots) with Andy. September is a cruel month. We expect relief, but it doesn't really happen until October, although signs of it start earlier.

I think of you as someone who is an actively close observer of the world and details. The study of metaphor is something that I was more involved in during my time studying linguistics. Metaphor is deeply entrenched in our everyday language and thinking (i.e. the word 'entrenched' there) This book is I think pretty readable (I just pulled it off the shelf and will have a look, but it was meant for a general audience I think) and I can lend you my copy if you're interested:

Shopping for what I don't need, oh my, I could write many paragraphs. A lot of different reasons and desires intersect.
