Now that it's September, bread baking just seems a bit more appropriate. The fact it was still 35°C outside today with blazing sun was expected, but somehow more bearable given we're closer to cooler temps. Autumn rounds, and the nights being brisk and refreshing is extremely welcomed indeed

"When over the houses, a golden illusion
Brings back an earlier season of quiet
And quieting dreams in the sleepers in darkness
The moon is the mother of pathos and pity."
