Just in time for the start of the new school year, as if to tell the kids: "Look, there's no reason to be on holiday any more!", the warm weather has given way to the damp, grey conditions you tend to associate with Estonia for about eight months of the year. Whereas a week or so ago thermometers across the country were pushing 30, this week's highs aren't expected to top 15.What this means is that certain things you don't see nearly enough of in Estonia (such as men in board shorts, left) will now almost certainly fail to be seen again for another eleven months, more's the pity. The brave and the stupid will still be walking around in their sandals and T shirts when the first sleet falls, but alas, goose pimples ruin the effect.

I am always one of those people walking around in sandals and a t-shirt long after I should have switched to boots and a winter coat. And then I complain about how cold it is and why no one will turn the heat up . . .
At least here you were never as bad as Peter. Remember Saul saying he always used to walk around their flat barefoot on the cold floors wearing nothing more than a pair of underpants? How he didn't get pneumonia I don't know.
