Non-specific South Asian (or possibly Native American) summer innit.

Sadly we can’t claim it as Saint Martin’s Summer as we’re not near Martinmas (or Samnitram) as that’s in November.  Either way I’ll be adding a few miles to the commute home

And WTF with all the ladybirds? It’s like flying ant day.

Beautiful day, just been for a walk near the office. Pity it wont last for the weekend.

got the ladybird invasion here too 🙂

*looks out of office window, shrugs and gets on with some work*

Enjoy slackers !!

🤪🤣👌🍆

It’s all a bit weird now. I’m hiding indoors.

Splendid.

Glad to have been able to enjoy the sun today albeit just a short ride, before having to head home.

Indian summer – concept known by a particular Native American tribe, but known by different names by pretty much every ethnic group in the Norther Hemisphere. Unsurprisingly, not too well known anywhere close to the equator. Certainly the last two days have been stunning.

Stunning weather for an October day in Lancashire,so I went for spin on my Street triple.

I used the ride as a recce for a road ride around the Trough Of Bowland.

“grävlingssommar” – literally ‘badger-summer’ (Swedish); a period of unseasonable warmth in autumn; a hot spell falling after the autumn equinox. Aka ‘second summer’ & ‘summer of ferns’ (An hanv c’hraden; Brittany).<span class=”Apple-converted-space”> </span>

In Welsh – Haf Bach Mihangel (Michael’s Small Summer)

There’s a Twitter thread started by Robert Macfarlaine under his Word Of The Day about this:
