It’s the first day of October, a month that is neither here nor there but apparently has two eclipses with astrologers predicting growth, revelations and change. Others see it as the last breath of summer with autumn waiting around the corner. The sea is still swimmable and the beach offers a gentle sanity check as throngs of tourists thin out. It is a week of wait and see for several of us and the last heat of the year and daily dose of vitamin D are welcome!
