It’s the 7th December at 50.8°N in Portsmouth, UK.

Having dumped an absolute torrent of rain for the umpteenth day running, the 40kmh SW wind coming off the sea is *warm*. In December
…as per fucking usual, there will have been somewhere in excess of 100,000 flights today, and billions of miles driven, and thousands of tonnes of concrete poured, and today… terrifying fires in NSW.

Oh yeah, we did
