Maybe it's the cold bite in the air that shook me rudely awake this morning or even the sudden lack of leaves on the trees that made me stop in my tracks, perhaps it's the clocks going back this weekend that finally did it ...

For whatever the reason, i've heavily heartedly resigned myself to the notion that summer has left us ... that autumn is now upon us and that it's spiteful little cousin, Winter, is putting on it's duffle coat, getting into its wellies of discontentment and dusting itself down for a bit of high jinks in the form of the customary rail strikes

Of course, it could also be the incongruous sight of the skulls, the pumpkins, witches' hats and cobwebs that someone has carefully laid out around the office - Y'see what happens ? I leave work early one day and the gremlins come out to play *sheessh*
