I’m aboard an early bus to Grenoble. Looking forward to seeing the Romanche valley in its autumn colours.

A lovely soft light on the far side of the valley. Hard to believe it gets dark in about an hour, which is about the time it takes to get down from here.

I had a similar experience arriving at Shibuya at night directly from the airport. Took the metro — much like any other metro in a big city — then emerged from the station below to a scene from Blade Runner. Amazing.

They only have themselves to blame for listening to Daniel Hannan back in 2016.

This is a Penguin Books ‘Pelican’ series hardback from 2018 that has spent most of its life tucked away on a bookshelf.
Nice cover though.

It was the only place locally I could get my favourite Pastis* flavour crisps.
*sadly discontinued.

I wonder if there are any Christmas bottled beers on sale yet. The Belgian ones are quite good.

Perfect for a rainy evening.

Thanks to zoning I live in a 25 minute city (the best DIY store and all the sports stores are out on the edge, well away from the Old Town) but, yes, walking everywhere is great.

Rain due later but for now it’s like a Stephan Micus album cover
