A bit blowy, but just cut the grass and the sun keeps popping out and it

I had to cut the grass yet again today. It seems to have forgotten it
should be slowing down now it is nearly winter.

The whole cul-de-sac smelt of cut grass today as my neighbours all got
their lawn mowers out and quickly made use of the dry, bright conditions.

My overnight minimum was 14.4C! Warmer than many a summer night this year.
The temperature was 15.3C at 01:00!!

The rose in the front garden is still in full flower as are the
nasturtiums. I'm still picking chillies and the odd runner though the
tomatoes have long gone..... Still awaiting the first frost though this
year is nothing exceptional with respects to that.


Ha ha I cleared my greenhouse a week ago. Everything is bare now. Runners
have blown/rotted away. Only veg. left are now parsnips, swedes, kale and
leeks. Vile weather, grass has grown a bit but I'm buggered if I'm going to
go out in soaking horizontal drizzle to cut the blasted stuff. It's not that
long anyway, just 4 inches and it can stay that way till March now.
Remaining summer pots will be put into the conservatory tomorrow in
readiness for the return of more normal conditions.
Looking forward immensely to next weekend with snow showers and frosts, even
better when the forecast starts emphasising how much of a shock it will be.
The real shock though is how ridiculously mild it has been so far this
month.
