The weather today became more expected for the month of October, although it is nearly over. We had wonderful sunshine with daytime high temperature similar to the overnight lows of recent days -- 11C (52F). The northerly winds made the air feel even cooler. A friend and I headed for a walk mid-afternoon and stopped for tea and a chat. I hadn't eaten lunch yet since I'd been doing a few errands and registering some online concerns with a corporate entity regarding recent customer service and product quality. We'll see where that goes <smile>.
Locally, the Fridays for Future climate campaign has gathered at the end of the week in a formal protest to draw attention to and advocate for policy changes needed at all government levels and in our own homes. With only three days left in October before we finally have seasonal temperatures, there are tangible things that we are all living with in the moment that could be put down to climate change. My street was closed off yesterday and today as crews removed huge tree root balls, filled in holes and reseeded with grass. These trees were lost during Hurricane Fiona's visit -- another impact of climate change. These weekly gatherings will conntinue for the coming weeks.
I share a song today that advocates for awareness of the global environmental situation. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Short Supply -- Tracy Chapman
