I think Alex Deakin is getting a bit ahead of himself. "Well there's
no doubt about it, Winter is definitely back..." he just said. Then...
"and another cold day tomorrow." OK, thinks I, I'd better check the
thermometer... I must have missed something. Hmmm... 8.5 deg C. Now
what was it at lunchtime, 11 or 12 if I remember rightly. Winter's
back? Really???

Oh, perhaps he means there's a severe wind chill... they do tend to
rattle on about that. So I'll go outside in bare feet and
shirtsleeves, that'll teach me, won't it? Well I did, I spent 5
minutes or so pottering about in the garden and patio dressed as for
summer. Quite a pleasant day really, bit breezy but nothing much and
lovely and bright, too. Ideal for a bit or gardening really. I was
tempted to do my first grass cut of the year!

Well here I am again, back inside. No, not due to frostbitten bare
feet or to grab my gloves and coat - but because I was bored and want
to watch the footy results. What a lovely day it's been... quite
Springlike really... and, Mr Deakin, M I L D !!!

Well, I know nothing about weather and how to do the magical things you
guys do here. I just lurk in the vain hope I'll pick something up.
One of my neighbours has just cut his lawn for the first time this year. The
reason I'm posting it is that he wins the best kept garden award with
monotonous regularity, so he knows his stuff. This is in Dunfermline, Fife.
Must be mild in my opinion.
