The nights are drawing in, there's no way round it. And my spirits are sinking.
Last night I was Skyping with my pal Sandra in Toronto and we fell immediately to talking about the weather when I had to confess that I had the heating on. In August.
Sandra told me that Canadians came top in a poll of nations who talk most about the weather. Can you believe that? No, neither can I. Surely it must be us Brits?
