Nostalgia
This morning, I went downstairs. It was chilly, and the light outside was slightly grey. I lit the fire.
This brought about intense nostalgia!
My mother's house was mainly heated by fireplaces, so this is the kind of thing I would have been doing on non-school days during late autumn and winter when I was a kid. And for some reason, I've always liked this time of year more than the summer. It's a time for staying indoors, looking out into the twilight, as I worked on exciting projects, alone or with my friend Lorenz.
It also reminds me of a time when computer games were more fun. Indeed, I was struck by a strong desire to play StarGoose.
Looks like I'll have to resurrect my 486 and install DOS, though...
Why not just use Bochs?

I know these feelings.
This is my favourite time of year and my favourite weather. It feels strangly romantic to me.
