Winter is coming...

...sometime soon. I don't think I've ever seen leaves on the trees in mid-November before, but I assume the temperatures will drop in the coming days. It is all seasonal domestic bliss chez Kane at the minute with me putting the insulation in and weather proofing the wormery, while Karen makes pickles and chutney from the left over green tomatoes from her allotment.

Sometimes I worry I'm turning into Will Duguid from the Guardian's fitfully amusing Ecotist column. The caricature is spot on, but the humour is all a bit obvious - Viz's 'Modern Parents' satirised middle-class-right-on-ness far more wittily (and viciously) years ago.
