In fact November has been warmer overall than July was. On Sunday folks were wearing shorts, sandals and sleeveless shirts...others still bundle up like its winter, hard to get used to feeling like its May instead....

Now I love this but the niggly little bugger in the back of my mind says 'global warming' sucker. Go away I say, and let me enjoy it while it lasts.....which looks like it will end on the weekend.....damn
