Be on your guard in the loft!

Hate wasps, nasty little things, wish they'd bloody bugger off. No wasps in our loft though thank god

The hangovers from summer should finally be withering away now....at last.

Haven't seen a bluebottle in the past week...the weeds appear to have stopped coming back in the back yard and the mass ladybird party that seemed to be taking place in my neighbourhood looks like it's come to an end.

...and the cat is now staying in and sleeping more.

It's taken a while, but I think nature is catching up. The ducks in the canal will be happy that they still have liquid water to swim on though.

Seems after tomorrow most of the United Kingdom will be under the NO MILD ZONE, much cooler and colder for most, with snow further North and in Scotland.

Well that would be nice, but MO going for 13c for the 8th in my location... that to me seems rather mild. I do wish the NO MILD ZONE would just go away for all!

Still some leaves hanging around on some of the trees in my area at the moment. Not too common in December although I'm sure they won't last much longer!

Yes apart from Thursday it looks like it shall be a chillier week, snowier in the North and drier/sunnier further South.

when you see the noaa anomaly map you really get that Europe was warm in november especially Scandi and dry as i never saw that much red for lack of rain. In some places in south west France november is with a plus 4C anomaly or over!!

Large swathes of Europe have had a rainless November - apparently it was the driest of ANY month on record in Germany:

That's what a persistent Euro High does.

Really looking forward to a couple of days of 11C highs this week. Will give me chance to get the house back up to temperature.

And found it for switzerland in French : http://www.meteosuis...atologique.html

In brief : Anomaly 2c for 2O11 highest ever since 1864 with the first 4 months extremely dry and warm.Hottest spring for 150 years.

November saw record very dry period in the north of country and record temps in montain stations.
