  1. We had a frost Friday night/Saturday morning, surprised you didn't. Anyhoo, looking forward to the rain. Off for a weeks fishing holiday tomorrow so the river looks like being freshened-up!
  2. If today is the last day it's certainly ended how it started. Rain all day here but the cloud should disperse enough for a ground frost later!
  3. Strange. During late August I kept reading on here that it lasted until 21st September.
  4. After all those starts has summer definitely finished now - or do I have to wait until midnight?
  5. Yeah! I've got one in my lounge. Perfect terminus for a single malt accompanied by scary film on TV.
  6. Much more popular than your "Summer 2012" thread, eh Gavin? And that season was infinite - according to some!
  7. Good idea, don't try and light boiler until that's sorted. Re: cold feet, more likely a circulatory issue with yourself than temperature related.
  8. If you've got a modern condensing boiler that's money for old rope. Nothing to "service" - just repair/replace when something (pressure switch or PCB) gives up.
  9. Noticeable how many yellow leaves were coming down in the strong NWerly yesterday afternoon. I was fishing in the canal and by the end it was covered in them - must be about a month earlier than recent years.
  10. Not unlike every spring when, apparently, all the prerequisites are in place for a sun and heat-fest summer. Shades of 76?
  11. Last year was excellent for sloes, a bumper crop. Still got some in the freezer (in case this year isn't so good) and two bottles of sloe gin in the cupboard, rare vintage!
  12. Boring. Clear skies, bright sunshine, fresher breeze today, thankfully.
  13. Besides the striking element of desperation? Nothing to add - she nailed it single-handed.
  14. There's desperate, then there's this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/31/climate-change-heretics-media-easy-ride Hopefully she'll end up with an evening chat-show on Channel4.
  15. left trouser leg-poor article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/9500465/Bank-Holiday-downpours-put-2012-on-course-for-wettest-summer-ever.html#disqus_thread enjoyable comments.
