I'm a little bemused - if very pleased - by this morning's frost. The most reliable weather service, Metcheck, was giving 7°C for this morning at 09:00, and the local temperature here is usually about 2.5°C higher. Instead, it was under 2°C in the back yard this morning, and there was frost on roofs and grass.
We went into town for various errands, and ended up walking down the still-frosted boardwalk and quays to the 12 Days of Christmas market, which is rather good this year. They have the same sausage and beer stands as last year, and the rost bratwurst, at least, was excellent. They also had a merry-go-round, on which we went. I approve entirely of merry-go-rounds, but do wish I had a top hat to complete the thing.
We also bought a stack of magazines, and for market research for a new website I'm considering, I even bought one of the rather repulsive papercrafting ones - to be found only in the "women's interest" section, and with a cover in pink and pastels. I considered buying a copy of Hustler or something to balance it out, but decided that Focus and New Scientist would do instead.
And now there is a comfortable afternoon of spodding. This is how December should be.
