Provence is lovely in November. Bit chilly in the evenings or up Ventoux, mind.

For me three years ago, I was working on a series of revolving short-term contracts and the company just ran out of money to keep (ie. pay) me after mid-November, so said 'come back in January'. I checked the small print, they were within their rights, so I decided to make the most of it and did a short cycling tour in Morocco, which is very good at this time of year - cold nights but warm(ish), dry days.

Many herbaceous perennials can be lifted and divided, roses pruned, fruit trees pruned, double dig the veg plot, apply a mulch to borders..... Loads to do!
Eye to weather and pick a short tour or two.

That kitchen ceiling of yours must need a lick of paint. When you finish that you could start on your Christmas shopping.

I read it as garden leaves, what to do (with them) and was going to suggest the lawn mover.... oh well.
November is by no means the worst month to choose. Me, I would be going, er well I don't know actually. Depends on what your personal finances are like and where you actually want to go to, have been to before and want to avoid. Someone posted up a photo of Bodo in Norway (port that takes you to the Lofoten Islands) and the weather looked great for this time of year. I would jump at the chance of getting out there and seeing the northern lights.... cycling there day or night would not be an issue. So there is my suggestion - go and see the Northern Lights in Norway and get some touring in as well.
