One thing, later another...
It snowed in October for the first time in my life. That was pretty chilly.
The cold snap persists and when we got home from ponies last night it turned out our corner of town had no electricity. By the morning most of the area had it, but our street was still dark. We're lucky that we have lots of candles around and we cook off gas, but its anxious in terms of tropical fish - 18 hours of power loss is not going to do them any good. Good job we go the house insulated and the windows replaced last year though, we would have been intolerably cold if it wasn't for that...
