December has arrived

It may have caused havoc at the airports, but I rather enjoyed the fog with visibility down to 20 metres. Mind you, the cold was brutal. Sadly now it's gone, so the weather will be pretty underwhelming for Christmas day. It was ridiculously unseasonly mild until that fog arrived. In some places it still is. The Outer Hebrides has been consistently warmer than London and even the Channel Islands - an 11 degrees celsius today. I wonder what Samuel Johnson would have had to make of it, given that one of his Decembers was spent up there.
Anyway, that's by the by. I wish you a merry, heart-warming Christmas, one and all.
