september? when was that?!

So there was another month been and gone, and a horribly hot october has struck. I am an autumn person. I like the smell of falling leaves, and a breeze on my face, and the need to put a hat on sometimes, and maybe a cardie. I like snuggling up to watch a movie,closing the windows at night, and eating apple crumble. So october was looking good for all that. Thought I had got away with a cloudy summer, and that the cold weather would have had a head-start. Instead we get this blazing hot THING. I can't work out how many pints of water I am drinking a day to stave off headaches, and have had to put aside special "chicken" clothes to protect me from there red mite, whos numbers have exploded in the heat.
