Don’t even care that I’m guilty of every autumn cliche. It’s the actual best.

I’m surprised that I feel defensive about my birth month. Weird isn’t it?

Thinly veiled “it’s my birthday soon” post

We’re going to the seaside bit of Edinburgh this weekend cos the annual art trail thing is on - loads of local artists open their homes and show their work. I’m mostly in for the snooping around nice houses, but it’s a good weekend to do it because the buses are half empty and the traffic is much lower.

Except this year they’re filming the new Fast & Furious around the city centre and have closed loads of roads. Classic.

I’m fat and absolutely love hot weather (not very hairy though).

Fluctuations are always going to happen and climate changes will alter stuff too but the season is really about celestial objects. It literally has no meaning outside of the respective position of the earth and the sun.

That said, I was only being half-serious. I tend to think splitting the year into 4 even seasons is a bit off anyway. I reckon it’s maybe closer to 3.5 to 4 months each of summer and winter.

Nailed it here.

Nice to be comfy in clothes and not feeling like my grotesque form is overly exposed.

Wearing a baggy waffle knit top today and I feel like a goddamn king of comfort :blush:

Most of my jumpers feel like expensive mistakes. The one I’m wearing today has been snagged by the cat. The one I dug out yesterday had been eaten by moths. These weren’t problems for me when I could wear tee shirts every day!

I’d see it like this:

September - still quite warm and sunny; occasional Indian Summer weeks; last throes of the cricket season
October - conkers, crunchy leaves, colder but still alright most days
November - clocks have gone back; it’s cold and wet; it’s ages til Christmas and even longer til the spring; fuck off November.

The day when the clocks go back is easily my least favourite day of the year.

Maybe that’s what makes the difference.

I’ll be back on the 23rd September, once Autumn starts to let you know how I feel.

Time is sad, sad shit.

Also barring the times the weather just broke leaving us far too hot, this Summer has basically been a bit of a damp squib

Love Autumn (only bettered by Winter). Can’t wait for the dark mornings, wrapping up warm, eating lots more pies and other Autumnal food.
