Early Autumn ?

Going outside around 8:30 this morning I felt quite a 'nip' in the air, the sort of stimulating chill one feels in mid-September.

Has Autumn arrived six weeks early ?

A Diminished Buffoon

Boris Johnson seems to have shrunk since he became Foreign Secretary, diminished physically as well as mentally.

He looks like a hunched up old man, ill at ease, stumbling over his words, his old confidence gone.

Odd timetables

I've just collected booklets giving train services between here and London.

One booklet gives trains on weekdays and Saturdays, and another gives trains on Saturdays and Sundays, but I could not find any timetable giving trains on every day of the week.

How odd!!!
