All the leaves are brown - and the sky is a bright summer blue...

First of all, mega thanks to green_maia for the daisy!

Otherwise, I think I agree with the (admittedly) subtext of this article, that the weather at the moment is essentially ridiculous. I just wandered to Asda (don't miss Sainsbury's really, though as regular readers will know I was a faithful patron...) and it was, what, six to half-six? The sun was setting, such that it's pretty gloomy now, but on the way there it still felt like it was blazing. I had short sleeves on! And it's October tomorrow! The park I walked past was carpeted in fallen leaves and it definitely smelled like bonfirey autumn, but it was basically baking. This lunchtime it actually was baking, but I don't think I can believe that it felt too hot to be walking home with a big bag of shopping in a t-shirt, on the 30th September. It was more like walking around at 10pm in the middle of a July/August heatwave; utterly ridiculous...

There wasn't much point to this post; I think I need to go and make my tea.
