Well, after such a warm, quiet, dry month so far. this'll take a bit of getting use to.

10.1mm of rain overnight, some heavy bursts with hail. It's a good F5 and increasing.

10.8C @ 09:00 after a minimum of 8.7C. My lowest ever September max was 13.0C on 29/09/93, today isn't going o be far off, despite an SST of 16C.

On top of which there's a big swell just arriving, causing today's Scillonian crossing to be cancelled. Sevenstones 5' at midnight, 14' now & forecast to to be the biggest since, well August actually.

We seem to have gone from Summer to Winter without time to acclimatise. At least the the camper vans are finally heading north, some had been parked in layby's so long the occupants had developed a Cornish accent.

No more bands in the Pirate garden, it's going to be lonely this winter.

Yes I'm really missing live music, Penzance's greatest around Penzance, and the Union Chapel Street.

It is dire out there.
But remember Boris's rule of sex.
;-()

Have to keep positive:

The Dream

When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Come to witness spring’s new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we’ll stand on the threshold of a dream.

Graeme Edge, Moody Blues, 1969

Too right Graham, this has come as shock especially after getting back
from a very warm and pleasant Portugal a few days ago. It was warm here
on the first day back to lessen the contrast; then this! Makes me want
to head south again.

A maximum of 14.9C today but most of the morning and early afternoon it
was stuck at 12C, overcast with showers. Only did the prolonged sunshine
this afternoon raise the temperature a little.

The older I get the lesser I care for the cold.
