I realize it's been a few days since I last came here. Hope everyone is doing great. :)

Apologies for being late in my reply; yes I am well and I hope you are too. It's busy at work; I'm hoping to do some socially distant socialising with friends soon though.
Miso
It definitely. I'll do the same actually! Good night to you :)

Today definitely feels like fall, but I have to remind myself that we'll probably go through another heat wave in early October before we get into the cold weather in earnest...so those fall/winter clothes will have to remain in the storage bin for now!
Diva
Yep! It's felt Autumnal here for a week or so; but the forecast next week is for 29C??? (84F)

Didn't really do much this Labor Day weekend but had some delicious lunches thanks to our grill and garden. Feeling rested but alas, the weekend is coming to a close all too soon
Diva
That sounds like perfection! But yes, it goes by so quickly...
Burensasub
Thank you! I hope you are able to take time off work before Christmas!

Fall is my favourite time of the year, by far. Also the lead up to the holiday season! And for much the same reason you've mentioned haha
Diva
Yes! The anticipation of holiday season makes Autumn even more special! I don't mind the dark afternoons when all the lovely, decorative lights are switched on.

I've finally watched Frozen II and I really liked it! I don't know if film reviewers liked it, but the plot, production values and the songs were very high end. They obviously did not want to put out any old rubbish after the phenomenal success of the first film.

It's been a funny kind of week, but the end is nigh (I'm famously a drama queen)! For those of you based in the United States, what are you up to this long weekend? For the rest, what's this regular weekend looking like? :)
Diva
It feels very Autumnal here in London; the leaves are changing colour and the temperature is quite cool. But this all means that hot chocolate is on the menu; we can layer up with scarves and hoodies; and we stay in and stream films!

This explains some of your work-related posts from the last 1-2 months. Wishing you luck

Great points. A similar thing likely happened here in the states too, given the RNC and what not. It'll be interesting to see who takes over, lots of good picks so far as I can tell.
Diva
Indeed! It will be interesting to see if the new leader continues with Abe's domestic and international agendas, or whether they will do things differently.

Haven't been floating around here lately. Still have my job thankfully :) Also ended up splurging a little bit and buying myself a new phone. Ended up getting an iPhone SE 2020. Super nice so far. Very snappy.

Curious why so few are talking about Shinzo Abe leaving office rn, his absence will make for a vastly different world
Diva
The announcement made it onto the UK news on Friday, just before a long weekend. It would have had a more prominent place in our news cycle if it wasn't for the US elections and the unrest in Belarus. It will be interesting to read the assessments of his (second) premiership. As Japan's longest serving PM, he will certainly be missed by other leaders, especially in the G7.
