Gloomy and 57F outside at noon (yeah I know.. but this is chilly for us cold wimps down here..) plus a strong bitter northerly wind. It's a public holiday today, I lit up the fireplace and uncorked a bottle of greek Nemea - Agiorgitiko red.. (in case you're wondering how this tastes, it tastes like a cross between an australian Shiraz and a french Merlot, if that has any meaning to you..), listening to Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte in the 1963 Karl Böhm recording with the Philarmonia Orchestra, Schwarzkopf, Ludwig et al. A small vase with Archduke Joseph (Mons Tillier) and Maman Cochet blooms on the cofee table.

Nearly the same temperature here except that we think it pleasantly mild for the time of year...

Sounds lovely, Nik. I'm glad you are doing well and enjoying the weather.

I am in Tennessee for a week, and it will be close to 90F here today. Back home in S CA it's only in the 70's. Crazy! I'm over here with all kinds of coats and fall clothing, while I should have brought my California summer clothes! Lisa

Three inches of snow here yesterday. It was supposed to warm up and melt away, but there is still a dusting on the grass today. The cats are back to yelling at me to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

Our weather here at the moment is quite pleasant, cool at night, warm (a little too warm out in the sunny big garden) during the day. There's a high pressure system in place and the sky, recently washed clear blue by a week of drizzle and fog, is already hazing over with pollution. We could use more rain. This has been a dry as well as a warm fall so far.

I am in need of rain as well, it has been a rather drier year this year. I hope for more normality next year.

hmm..thats about 13-14 C- definitely a fireplace required to lift the gloom:)

24 C here today and a lovely day, pity its our token nice day for the week and the rest is supposed to be " partly cloudy" "windy and blustery" "showers/shower or two" which in practice seems to mean not much rain, but lots of wind to dry stuff out and break off canes grr. Good, its finally starting to warm up a bit...bad, its already starting to dry up out there..

A pretty week for us here in So CA. The cooler weather has brought some nice roses for Halloween.
