Your last line was best, Southern Hemisphere and Spring.
November not a good month in UK.
Clocks change, dark earlier.
Some men go about unshaven this month.
Poppys are on sale for two weeks!.
Fireworks fill the air with polluting harmful smoke.
Trees look as if they are dying.
Roll on December 21st.
Wettest and windiest Spring in living memory where I am in Adelaide.
So now even Diamond Geezer has become a lifestyle blogger! Although a few photographs of him kicking his way through some crunchy leaves while clutching a pumpkin would have made it even better.
Dark November brings the fog
Should not do it to a dog.
Spring has yet to arrive in Cape Town.

Please send help. (Or just send Spring.)
This is the time when someone quotes that poem by that guy whose name I've forgotten.
"No sun, no moon! No morn, no noon. No dawn, no dusk. No proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member.
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! November!"
Thomas Hood]
8A) & get Barbara bloody Windsor AGAIN.

35A) & possibly die in the resulting fire - depends how much everyone drinks.
Also on the first Art of Noise album (Anne Dudley).

Are you feeling OK? Almost all the things on that list are negatives for me. I don't like the slide towards the depths of Winter that November brings.
Isn't it "bonfire" night rather than "fireworks" night?
You forgot to mention datey shenanigans. I remember 2011...
Or rather "One remembers this day five years ago".
Reason 23 is definitely my personal favourite.
Might be time to reintroduce the irony flags, DG?
November is a vile month: days getting shorter and colder,frequent fog, leaves forming a filthy mush to walk through and still proper winter to come, most depressing month of the year. But hey, not this year, because this is the month I get TWO dollops of State Pension on my 4 weekly payment cycle, plus Fuel Allowance. Trebles all round!
You do realise that tomorrow's post is going to be "50 reasons why November is terrible"?
And at least 6 of the reasons on the list will be the same as ones on today's list.
Worst month, even though my birthday falls this month. The only good thing is Fireworks, The Apprentice, I'm a Celebrity and X Factor, and like you said Children in Need.

A sit on your bum month.

Why would anyone object to an 11-year old standing at a corner asking for money from complete strangers, having stuffed highly flammable material into your parent's favorite pillow covers, and then buy explosives from your local corner shop without any questions except for the shop keeper asking if I needed to buy any matches ...

A day or two before Guy Fawkes night 1977 ... kids of today have no idea hahahaha
Can someone explain 5 please?
It's November 1 in Washington DC and it's warm and the sky is overcast. And tomorrow is forecast to be 80 Degrees F.[27C.] Are you sure this isn't June 1 ??
@Andrew S, I don't do Twitter so I don't know for sure but I'm guessing that people change their Twitter name to include something Hallowe'en related leading up to and including the 31st.
Point 6 (cheap pumpkins); at Sainsbury's Leytonstone they were FREE this morning. Presumably they'd overestimated demand.
