lamp post during the only bright patch of weather

It's been raining most of today.

I actually stood outside with my coat on just now, so as far as I'm concerned this is the turning point where we descend headlong into winter, and when I think it was less than 3 weeks ago when I was sweltering in 36 degree temperatures on holiday, I can't believe the speed of change.

That holiday might as well be 3 years ago now.

I'm off to find my thermal underwear..
