October - yes?

It's a bit hard to keep up with the weather at the moment, yesterday we enjoyed the country's top temperature of 26 degrees, followed by a hail storm and the mountains are dusted with a fresh covering of snow this morning! At least I don't have to water the garden today!
Today has also been a mixture of fineness, a hail storm, some chilliness and some quite nice bits. Janine had her left pinkie finger operated on today, so we've spent the afternoon at the hospital. She seems fine, and hopefully there will not be too much disruption to exam preparation.
