Its September and The Carnival is well and truly over for another year.


So lets get real Guys, summer is now finished...


Conkers are will soon be falling, blackberries, mostly, tantalisingly out of reach, have disappearred.


The apple-picking season, usually associated with autumn, began around two weeks ago.


It will soon be cold, wet and the shops will soon be full of winter clothes. Are we in autumn already?


Clocks will soon be turned back and you will leave your work in darkness as the gloom descends around you.


You will probably arrive home bedraggled as you contemplate the dark, long, evening in front of you before you return to the sanctity of work again.


At least we will have those cheery Christmas adverts to look forward to as we while away the hours until next Summer comes.

( Its about 6,500 hours until June, 2010).


Anyway, have a nice day y'all....

Don't spoil the mood, Sunshine...


Edited to say I don't mean "Sunshine" in this context..:X

September is often warm and sunny,

I like the Autumn and the seasons...

Jan/Feb are the grimm ones for me

There's never jam left out for tea


But Autumn's not so bad you know

As intermediate seasons go

And it can be a useful metaphor

For looming revolutionary war

As in The Brothers Grimm? The kid-scaring story writers?

Frightened more wains than clowns those two.

Good for them.

Is Stella Artois the same Girl who takes part, regularly, in a Menage A Trois ?


Suddenly Autumn don't seem so bad....


p.s. I claim the left-hand side Quidsy...:-$

"Wearing hats in the dark" sounds like a good title for the sort of slim volume of poetry one might find in your favourite uncle's smallest room.


The poem "Night cap" (page 12), being a particular favourite of your uncle's, is often quoted as he takes his tumbler up to bed with him...

Now let's just nip these rumours in the bud.

Uncle Lance was a confirmed batchelor who may on occasion have visited the circus but he always denied the implication that he took advantage of any of the performers.

Fond of a slim volume he was, though.

I remember a few years ago the Eastern Europeans brought over for the job, were still picking ripe fruit in Lincolnshire in November because it was still so warm!

It's normally this time of year I go on a road trip round England but I have had little work this year, so I can't afford to go. It's a fab time to go away, cheaper B&Bs and emptier roads and the tourist places are free of - tourists!

But I still like this time of year, till about late October.

What a beautiful day it is today!

Is it September the 2nd or November the 2nd? September's a great month - normally fine dry warm weather, still pretty long days, leaves etc still on the trees.... and my birthday. There's a touch of melanchony on here completley unwarranted...(although we do understand you are speeding through your Autumn years Tony)
It's a pleasant melancholy, though, Quids. September is a great, gorgeous, golden hurrah of a month, full of sunshine that feels like a treat rather than an entitlement, the beginning of the loveliest season in Peckham Park as the tips of the trees start to fly their autumn colours, and the excuse for just one more lazy weekend lunch outside, but it is of course the beginning of the end and the nip in the air is a reminder of the long dark winter ahead.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
