Not yet 1700Z and I've had to put the lights on. Bah, humbug!

The same here in Cranleigh. It's remarkable, since up till three or four
hours ago there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

I stashed all the garden furniture away here near Brighton about 1600 convinced the heavens were about to open, Not a drop of rain but really dull.

Meanwhile, very attractive sky in the far SW as the sun sets
http://www.scillyman.co.uk/Lowertown_Cam.html

Mentioning Christmas before December should in room 101, together with people who get to supermarket checkouts seemingly unaware that they need to pay, people that won't vacate busy cafe tables when they have finished their drink . . .

And people banging on about how good the weather is in Cornwall.
Sorry Graham.
Only joking.

You probably have a point!

Still, I believe you will be crossing the Tamar shortly.

Managed to hold out till 6.30 when I realised I couldn't see what was on
my dinner plate. It didn't seem to worry the dog eating her dinner.

Fed up with Xmas already, thank you. Some of the Freeview film channels
have been showing Yuletide crap throughout the summer.

Christmas now starts well before my birthday (17 Nov) when the lights go up in shopping areas, reminding us of the true purpose of these festivities which is to get you to buy stuff neither you or anybody else really wants thereby enriching local businesses which are mostly mere satellites of some vast corporate behemoth anyway. If these businesses need people to throw money at them in order to stay alive there's something wrong with The System.
On the other hand I do send Christmas cards, mostly slightly dodgy ones purchased from Private Eye or my local Patel's fine selection.
