The back streets of Ealing

yielded the following on my walk home tonight:

1 drunken man kicking his way through the newly fallen leaves - I would imagine it was his first day at a new job. The hangover will hurt tomorrow.

2 engineers from Clancy Docwra trying to find the source of the large water-filled hole caused by a burst pipe (this would explain the water being cut off across Ealing yesterday).

A mist reminiscent of Gogol''s descriptions of Nevskii Prospekt.

Unseasonably warm weather - no coat yet and it's almost November!

No traffic at all.

A smell of cider vinegar beneath the apple tree just up the road from my flat as the windfall slowly decay.
