I love October
It’s October again. I love it. Of course, it’s my birthday this month so that makes it special, but anyway, October is the perfect month I think. The weather is just great and the season change makes it interesting. In England, Autumn really starts and the leaves are just beginning to change. It’s strange for me that this happens in November in Japan.. it’s so late!
In England, lots of events start in October. We have halloween, then Bonfire Night, then the run up to Christmas. There is plenty to look forward to. Even if the weather is bad outside, we can enjoy warm cosy days inside.
This year, I’m so busy helping prepare for the Chukyo conference. It’s next weekend, so I’ll be working on my birthday
But never mind, it’s fun! The student helpers this year are great, and I’m going to enjoy working with everyone.
Anyway, to celebrate October coming, here are the words from a very old song by U2..
October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?
October
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
But you go on…
…and on…
