Again my attention is caught by a succession of amazing athletes and my focus on my writing diminishes as I get caught up in the drama and inspiration of the Paralympics. Some extraordinary people doing extraordinary things, often against extraordinary odds.

I got heavily rained on today and felt quite chilled. I bought the ingredients for a spicy Squash soup for dinner. I saw Christmas cards for sale in two different shops this afternoon. The leaves on the Horse Chestnut tree at the end of the road are starting to curl at the edges. I picked up a second-hand copy of Breaking Bad Season One box-set for watching as the evenings draw in.
