It’s November and it’s pouring and windy outside. Somebody’s left their magenta coat outside to dry, but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon. As we are soon to enter winter it has certainly been a quiet autumn this year. The trick & treaters who normally dress up and run around at the end of October didn’t appear, and the usual celebrations at the beginning of November which turns London into sounding like a war zone didn’t happen either. Well, there was 3 hours of ‘pew pew pew-ing’, but it started early and finished early, unusually pleasant. It normally goes on to the early hours of the morning, and the sounds of revelry continue on longer than that. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the credit crunch has shown another positive*.

*The first positive being on how money should be handled correctly.
