Shedding of shorts.



Today we have shedding of shorts. Yesterday,
We had nocturnal drizzle. And next month,
We shall have lighting of fires. But today,
Today we have shedding of shorts. The ocean
Glisten'd like jade, beyond all of the basking bodies,
    And today we have shedding of shorts.

[With apologies to Henry Reed]

The temperature in Montefalcone was 28 yesterday and 30 in Pedaso where we spent the day on the beach. However yesterday evening it began raining and today the temperature has dropped to 15. Summer's finally over and I've consequently discarded shorts and sandals in favour of jeans and shoes. A wrench because, apart from my visit to England in July and a couple of days last week when it rained, I've worn shorts every day since June 7th.
