The Return Of Summer

My car read 23 degrees celsius yesterday. Granted, I have a bit of an oil leak so this could have somehow affected the temperature gauge in my jalopy, thus making the return of Summer less of an anomally and more of an indication that I should really visit my friendly mechanic soon. But, when I got out of the car, I think it may have been right. I cast off my hoody and basked in the glorious October sunshine that felt more like early July. I even got in for 2 surfs, the second of which I had all to myself in near perfect conditions. These are rare times, and all the sweeter for it. Here's a shot from very first thing this morning. It was crisp and cool then. It's toasty again now. Long may the 2nd Summer continue. C
