Absolutely lovely here - drinking white wine in the sunshine!

It's freezing!!!!!!  Anyone south of Hadrian's wall with the heat on this morning?

You have remembered it is Bank Holiday, haven't you, and that there is time-honored British tradition that dictates that you spend hours in a traffic jam in the cold and wet?

The traffic jam is far more than I can handle, but I have busted out the hot water bottle, and am clutching it in one hand, with a hot cup of tea in the other.  Does that keep me more or less up to traditional par?

What, you hate the queen?  You need to get out there, spend 6 hours driving 20mph to the beach and then stand there in the water up to your knees shivering in the gale.  And get sunburned through the clouds.

Gorgeous here, too. Yesterday's gales and sideways rain seem to have buggered off to ruin somebody else's weekend.

I am absolutely certain that this summer has seen more rain when the sun is shining then when it is cloudy. Of course, I probably need to normalize by relative amounts of sun vs. cloud as this may simply result from i) rain approximately 50% of each day and ii) sun about 20% of the same.

It's quite likely that I will turn on the central heat later today...

Absolutely hammering down here, and I'm thinking about getting out the fur to warm my feet in bed . . .

I can see no alternative . . . so here's the autumn thread!

It has been a lovely day here, but I have seen the forecast.......
