Browning, in more ways than one

Browning 1: as mentioned previously, we've been suspecting that Neil is going to have brown eyes. That seems more and more certain every week.

Apparently passport photos have to show one's ears; Marisa says they had to take loads of shots of Neil before that requirement was fulfilled (just barely); the equations aren't relevant, they happened to be there and I left them in because I think they add flavour

Browning 2: autumn is gradually shifting to winter, and so too is the outdoor colour spectrum shifting towards the lower frequencies.

Browning 3: evening temperatures are low enough these days to allow us to make use of our fireplace, especially in connection with marshmallows.
