It's gone back to being cold but bright here (-3°); it really doesn't seem to know whether to go into full-on winter or just bumble around in late autumn. There were a few flakes of sn*w yesterday though - they can keep those at least until we get the winter tyres on the Pigletmobile.

Still quite mild here, albeit cloudy, and south-westerly-windy (which is OK).
The more shrill and strident doomsayers amongst what pass as newspapers here in Ukland are gleefully predicting ARCTIC WINTERS and ICY BLASTS....so nothing new there, then.

O dear.
Our 'yellow warnings' are for gusty winds between now and Thursday....with just a bit of rain thrown in now and then.
I'm not too bothered about the weather these days, as long as it's fine-ish on Sundays (so that peeps say to themselves, 'O, what a nice morning - let's all go to church....').

I see that the new Bishop for the Orkneys is a woman - is this a divine response to such an heretical and ill-advised election?

I don't think you can blame the people of Orkney* - they've been voting Liberal since the end of World War II. And they didn't vote for Brexit either.
[pedant alert] * "The Orkneys" is wrong - the name of the county is Orkney or the Orkney Islands. Oh, and the episcopal title is Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney. [/pedant alert OFF]

I see that the new Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney is none other than the Rt. Rev. Anne Dyer, who was once a Canon at our Cathedral, down here at the opposite end of the country!
I don't suppose they'll let her have St. Magnus, Kirkwall, back, will they?
No?
Thought not - but hopefully they'll at least let her preach there now and then....
I wonder how fluent she'll prove to be in Norwegian, once Orkney realigns itself post-Brexit...

I knew that the See incorporated another place, but could not quickly check. I shall remember the county name for future reference. I remain bemused by the coincidence of the election of a woman as bishop and this severe weather and wonder if there be more to it than coincidence.

@GeeD: The election of the Revd Canon Ann Dyer was 9 November, the current flooding and snow in the UK, a fortnight later, has been across the north west and Wales (ie, not Aberdeen and Orkney). We had high winds last night in the south-east. There are high winds forecast in Orkney tonight, but that's normal, that's why there are so few trees. Snow in November this far south is not unusual. I have photos of snow across this southern region over 5 months a few years ago (November to March). Your point is?

I am in Aberdeenshire and can confirm that the weather this month, whilst mostly grey skies and rain, is entirely normal for November.
The unusually bad weather has been confined to places which don't have female bishops. [ 23. November 2017, 10:29: Message edited by: North East Quine ]

I'm really not at all sure that this speculative connection between the gender of one's local Bishop, and the state of one's local Weather, actually works.
OTOH, I suspect Gee D was being ironic......
(Whew! What a pong of Dead Horse!)
In other news, I did some light gardening at Our Place today, and found, to my delight, that last night's gales had neatly deposited fallen leaves in exactly the right places for me to easily sweep or leaf-vac them up.
The garden waste bin is now full, so I'll wait until next week before trimming various plants down for the winter.
Now for supper - Tomato and Basil SOUP, with cheese-and-onion bread.....

There was a group called the Orkney and Shetland Movement, who campaigned for a similar status to that of the Isle of Man, who put up a candidate* (a Shetlander) at the 1987 General Election: he didn't get in (see post above re: voting habits). IIRC a member of the Orkney Movement won a seat on the Orkney Islands Council in the mid/late 1980s, but it doesn't really operate on "party" lines: most members are independent.

In other news, we went to Canadian T*** the other day (they were having a sale) and got a 5-foot tree in a little pot, pre-lit with 100 white incandescent lights, for $70, reduced from $140, which I regard as something of a bargain. I may well apply more lights: I'm not sure that 100 is enough on a tree that size, and when they're white you need to have quite a lot for them to look effective. I'll see what the dollar-stores have in the way of baubles - they don't need to be posh.

It's cold here, frosty and a brisk wind to add to the chill factor. I enjoyed seeing Oysterband at the Union Chapel last night as part of their 40th Anniversary tour, but waiting in the queue outside it was distinctly nippy. Apparently, according to part of John Jones' chat, the Union Chapel sits 900 - operative word being sits. They did get us all up briefly last night, but the pews make for fixed seating and not a lot of ability to move. A real contrast from seeing them at summer festivals in standing only tents.

Yes, cold, but sunny here as well. The new boiler at Our Place is working, and keeping the church at a reasonable ambient temperature (IMHO), but attendance at the Feast of Christ the King was a bit thin.
Weekend wo**ing does tend to make our numbers a bit erratic. I counted at least 15 regulars missing this morning - about a third of the congregation we could expect if everyone was available, and turned up!
I am devoutly hoping that that mysterious place 'Away' doesn't tempt too many this Christmas - either that, or we become 'Away' for numerous visitors (as has happened in the past).

We had a big congregation this morning, as instead of the usual three services (8 a.m., 10:00 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.) we had a combined one at 10:30 which involved both the choir and the band.
It worked out very well indeed: D. managed to strike just the right balance so that the choir and the band both had enough to do, and in the bits we did together neither group felt uncomfortable.
Afterwards we had a chilli lunch in the hall; I had spent a good bit of yesterday producing one of the pots of chilli (aren't slow cookers wonderful?) and turning a batch of French sticks I'd made on Friday into garlic bread (which was consumed with considerable enthusiasm).
A very good morning altogether; the only thing that was missing was the proper collect:
Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Due to an abomination of a lectionary, this (my favourite collect of the whole year) appears in August. I mean, honestly, who's going to stir up their Christmas puddings in August?
Advent next week - bring it on!

And, apropos of nothing in particular (except that it shows how much God loves us, and how much She wants us to be happy), here is a little piano piece by Herr Brahms, played by the scintillating fingers of Valentina Lisitsa.

N.B. I'm sure Meghan Markle must be an anagram (or else perhaps of Albanian origin - Albanian names often seem like anagrams), but I haven't been able to find one.
Any suggestions?

Re Valentina Lisitsa, BTW (yes, I have a bit of a thing about foreign lady pianists....).
There are suggestions that she may, indeed, be a revenant or reincarnation of the late Abbe Liszt.
There appear to be some pieces by Liszt which only she, and Liszt himself, are/were actually capable of playing...
