Winter is sneaking up

The week before last it was really quite warm. This week the temperatures are moving to below 10 degrees C. The transitions here between hot and cold have always been rather abrupt. In the UK the temperature slides down gracefully over a few months, whereas here, in the north of the lving museum at least, the temperatures fall like a brick dropped from a tenth floor balcony. One week you are sweating, the next freezing. Very odd.
