It's the 23rd of December and there's a bumble bee flying about in my garden.
Can't remember that ever happening before.
That is all.

there is something drastically wrong with the weather patterns, and not just here all over the world
I've noticed birds singing quite late into the evening. I wasn't sure if it was just me that doesn't remember this happening in mid-December or whether it is just another symptom of this ridiculous weather.

Yup. Big drought here, abnormally hot, hardly any thunderstorms but if there any it hails instead of rains. Farmers culling pregnant cows as they have no grass to eat, crops not planted as no water, water rationing at the coast etc. Not good. Next year is supposed to be even hotter.

Far too many weeds growing in my back garden for this time of year. Don't normally do any gardening October to March.
I've solved that problem - get some chickens, they rake the soil to a fine grain which gets rid of weeds. The only small flaw in the plan is that the soil doesn't necessarily stay on the flower beds !

A friend at work has chickens and brings in some of the eggs every now and then. They are the very best!

Winter isn't really happening here in Korea yet - no ice or siberian chill, just warm fog and dampness.
Not convinced about that, it was 21oC in London and 19oC in Shoreham.

I read that it's due to be 21-22c in New York in the next couple of days. It's normally 5c. We're DOOMED.
I can't find the tweet I saw, but this article suggests similar:

I think the temperatures mentioned were 14 and 15 so probably not down here.

Never cut wet grass.
Or if the soil is wet.
If you choose to ignore my advice make sure the blades are at there highest and just cut the top of the grass off.

Feel sad for the bees that will be destroyed when we hit a cold patch, as will the daffs. But at least the fecking grass will stop growing!!

I have baby strawberries on my strawberry plant and hubby cut the grass today. People in T shirts on the street and spotted an elderly couple sitting outside a pub eating their lunch today in Brighton... in December. Definitely odd
