My curmudge is about the woman on the plane calling the other passengers "covidiots", which is most likely true, but.....why are you on a plane in the first place when there is still a worldwide pandemic happening?? Apparently having a holiday in Greece and getting in an enclosed space with 200 strangers and recirculated air was far more important than foregoing it for a year to prioritise health... what's the word for people like that....oh yeah. Covidiot.
(disclaimer, not a massive fan of the word as people are idiots regardless of whether there is a pandemic or not, and it's a bit too preachy, but I wish she'd just thought about her own behaviour before wheeling that out as a soundbite to take the moral high ground...!)
No it's not! Not till the equinox which will be Tuesday 22nd at 3:30 CET or 1:30 BST.
Meteorological summer is ended. Today is the first day of autumn according to Carol Kirkwood so it must be true.
This from the Met Office website "By the meteorological calendar, spring will always start on 1 March; ending on 31 May. The seasons
are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August),
autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January,
February)."
Can l just say that people who put their bins and recycling out at 1.30am with much banging and crashing are the type to make me feel curmudgeonly. I can't cope with it being Autumn yet either, so am hanging on until the 22nd. I like Carole Kirkwood though.
That's weather! This is gardening! In my garden in Harrow spring definitely did not start on the 1st of March and in the Belgian garden I remember one early April when a gardening friend came to visit with her daughter in the Easter hols and we were still having -6C at night!
