Signs Of The Coming Of Winter

Rats will scurry around the outside of a room, literally skirting the skirting board, so maybe traps and poison by a wall?

Pubs with real fires putting them on. I don't know why but I love a real fire in a pub. A real fire seems to add so much to having a drink.

with a pint of real ale instead of lager

Depending on where you live, the smell of wood smoke as people light their wood burners up.

( love the smell of wood smoke )

Pubs that have a real fire generally aren't lager pubs in my experience !

Reading tweets that say 'x' amount of days to xmas.

People who put 'x' sleeps til' anything shouldn't be allowed to breed. Your not 5 ffs!

Bells stop asking for Cider and a pint glass filled with ice. Cider.....kin meffs.

Insulted here. And I will never stop doing that!

For me it's shopping. As soon as it starts to get a little cold, all the shops whack the heating on full blast, so that your cold outside, but boiling in. We're all wearing coats ffs, turn the heating down you plebs!

I've been in Perth in July, and the weather was abysmal. Absolutely freezing, driving rain. Was in bed with a beanie on. Don't try and claim WA is wall-to-wall sunshine!

Muscles in my back start to knot up, and my neck gets stiff.
The larder door on the boat stays shut (as the wood swells with increasing humidity so that the catch fits) - this is handy because the light that comes on when it's open could drain the batteries - as the solar panels get less sun.
The golden sun set shows through the lounge window.
The car windscreen starts to fog up in the morning commute - soon I'll have to get up 10 minutes earlier to scrape it.
My feet get wet walking through the field, even when it hasn't rained.
Silvery shimmery golden light on a dew laden field at sunset.
The chainsaw gets serviced, and every journey home is (hopefully) accompanied with a branch over my shoulder (probably causing sentence 1 above).
I can't go to sleep without having to get up at least a dozen times as the wife spots yet another spider FFS
Telly goes from bland to only tedious.

TBH anyone who asks for a pint glass filled with ice with their cider needs a punch in the cock.

I'm in Karratha.

Can't say I've heard of it. What happens in Karratha?
