We haven't left yet

There's still a large flock of geese padding about in the park today and nibbling at the snow-covered grass. Perhaps, before heading south, they're waiting until our river has frozen over.

I shall be away too, tomorrow, but not for as long as the geese. I'm coming back to Ottawa on December 12th. The rivers I'll see during my short migration are the Thames, the Seine and perhaps the Neckar.
