The Pleasure

October begins

October is here.

The weather is starting to cool. Rome in autumn is beautiful. The tourists are thinning out. The city is returning to itself.

Flavio isn't here to see it. But life goes on.

Sonya wants to start thinking about colours for a corner of the flat—where a crib might go eventually. Nothing concrete yet. I'm going along with it in small steps.

I'm starting to believe this is actually happening.
