Thanks for your good wishes everyone!
General Hercules, I read further back that your mom wasn't doing well, but you got her some antibiotics. I hope she is much better.
It has been abnormally warm. Mid to upper England is flooded. Warmest December on record. Cloudy, rainy, here.
In the past, I've seen some warm days here and there in December, but nothing like this.
Finally, we are about to feel some colder air here in north central Europe. Below freezing clear weather forecast from Wed Dec 30 into the New Year (-5C/23F).
Meanwhile in Melbourne, Australia, New Year's Eve looks to be over 100 F/39. But then temps will abate to more reasonable temps as the new tennis season begins.
Respectfully,
