You been stalking me again?

Ah, that's what Ming really looks like.

Was quite fresh outside last night at 1.40am (when i was pottering about with the astrophotography mode on the phone). Definitely a slight nip in the air.


Mostly sun today, until i started trimming the hedge, at which point the heavens opened. First with heavy rain, then hail, making the Surrey Hills look like this.

Has Surrey relocated to an island in Antarctica?

 

[Drago]

Surrey is now somewhat South of Antarctica, not far from Taiwan.

What passes for a sunny day in Ketchikan Alaska Thursday 12th.

Talk of air frost on tonight’s forecast so we decide to end our hardier houseplants’ summer outdoor holiday.

Snow never used to keep me off the bike or stop me riding to work. Indeed, it's a rare chance to practice certain clipped-in skills you'd never get to rehearse anywhere else unless you owned a skating rink.

I've got a 'snow bike' it was a 'jump' bike with disc brakes but a few mods* means it handled snow fantastically

* really aggressive knobbly tyres with the rear being a 2.25 and flat MTB pedals. it already had a handbuilt 600mm seatpost, Truvativ crank and better flatbars with trigger shifters but was still too heavy, commuting in snow was where it came into its own.

Winter (if you can call it that) hasn't arrived yet.

Temps are still around 90f.

I can't wait for it to cool down.

4°C here overnight. Must be getting close to the first frost now.

I had to scrape ice off the car windscreen at 7AM today.

I don't remember doing that in September before.

It was 4°C when I left, dropped briefly to 3°, but then was up to 8° by the time I reached the office

Could lead to an Indian summer
