Midday in Birmingham

Well, parts of me are saying, this blip isn't mysterious enough .. it's average .. it's not that interesting .. it's so predictable goddamit ..

... but other parts of me are celebrating this absolutely classic autumnal day - the smells of mud, grass and smoke, the red/gold/brown leaves clogging up the drains, the sun hitting the tops of the trees, the students impervious to cold sitting in vest tops and flip flops on the cold wet grass. Unbeatable.
