"Summer time" - the European equivalent of Daylight Savings Time - ended last week. Wikipedia tells me that November is the second wettest month of the year (after October) and the second darkest month of the year (after December). The first days of the month have fallen in line with the averages, with shocking darkness in the early afternoons because of the cloud cover, and soaking, cold rain for most of the day.
It feels like winter has started, but reminders of fall remain. It's not quite cold enough to numb my hands if I bike outside without gloves, and most of the leaves stubbornly remained on trees up until last week. They were often brilliant shades of yellow and orange that shimmered in the wind when the sun would peak through the clouds.

This cat is not dead - it's displaying the "post-amazing-petting-session" facial expression.
On Saturday, I used my museum card to go to the Tropenmuseum (tropics museum), and then read and graded papers in a coffee house. I took a few videos of the biking during the few hours that it was not raining yesterday.
