The season is changing soon. My son started the second semester of school last week and the month ends today. I can almost feel the autumn coming soon so it's almost bye-bye time for my very familiar friend, hot summer.
Not too fast though. It is still somewhat hot during daytime specially if I was under the sun. But once under the shade, I can already feel a bit different. For the locals here, it's cool. For me, it's a little cold. I now need my thin jackets over my sleeveless tank tops to keep me warm and not solely to protect my arms from the sun.
The temperatures have been slowly dropping to 18 and even 16 degrees C when the sun is not around.
I may have to bring out our long sleeved clothes sooner than most people. I now understand why Koreans usually have a lot of these kinds of clothes which they use during the most part of the year.
It's been a while since I have experienced living in a temperate region so this year will definitely be a learning year how to cope with the seasons.
P has been coughing every morning a few months ago but I haven't heard it for the past few weeks. I had to let him wear a jacket for sleep tonight. With the dropping temperatures specially evenings and early mornings, we will have to be extra careful of how we do things. We should be more fastidious in keeping warm clothes and blankets at night. Because the changing season can really wreak havoc to our health. That also means enough sleep, and healthy food.
The fruits in the neighborhood fields are slowly ripening. The pear and apple trees are bearing fruits that are slowly changing colors ripe and big enough for picking soon. I can't wait to find a place to help out one of these days. The grapes are getting a bit cheaper as well so we're starting to get some from the supermarket.
During the brief summer, the summer fruits like watermelon and honey dew melons abound as cheap as 3000 to 5000 for a big bag or a decent sized watermelon. It has now gone up again to 10,000 a piece nowadays.Hmmm..I may have to do another post on fruits soon.
Notes and notes, and bracing for the coming cold season.
