Today is the first day of the autumn equinox

AUTUMN 
by Christopher Brennan

Autumn: the year breathes dully towards its death,
beside its dying sacrificial fire;
the dim world´s middle-age of vain desire
is strangely troubled, waiting for the breath
that speaks the winter´s welcome malison
to fix it in the unremembering sleep:
the silent woods brood o´er an anxious deep,
and in the faded sorrow of the sun,
I see my dreams´ dead colours, one by one,
forth-conjur´d from their smouldering palaces,
fade slowly with the sigh of the passing year.
They wander not nor wring their hands nor weep,
discrown´d belated dreams! but in the drear
and lingering world we sit among the trees
and bow our heads as they, with frozen mouth,
looking, in ashen reverie, towards the clear
sad splendour of the winter of the far south.

I love autumn... unfortunately we don´t get much of it here at all - if any! But I have great memories of autumn in Poland... oh... nostalgia...

The beautiful colors of the trees, the chilly weather that´s not too cold yet, but you can get that warm sweater out of the closet and sit in the evening with a cup of hot chocolate... the walks to the woods to pick mushrooms... the thought of snow and Christmas coming...

yes it is my favorite season

I know I know!!!!

but ill just have to cross out poland

YAAAAAAAAY!!!

Cross out Poland? What have we done this time?

NOO! I didnt mean it in anyway, i meant cross out poland cause ive never seen autumn there,

i meant id just have to fill in the blank with something else

what did you think i meant?

heheh

ive got nthg aginst poland

No bother

But I have to tell you Cat´s image of golden leaves and sweater-temperature is a bit idyllic You may also want to imagine heavy rains, grey, cloudy days and chilly temperatures. I miss Polish autumns

Lets just stick to the good lol, anyway, i wouldnt mind a couple of those chilly temps now in Egypt, even though it can gget kinda chilly at night but its really nthg! but im sure theyll come soon enough,maybe a month

 hahaha...I know how you feel.  No autumn in Texas either but the weather does cool down from 100 degree temps  to 90 degree temps!! 

 Are you sure you are not talking about the Netherlands?

She was! She was!!! This NEVER happens in Poland... Netherlands on the other hand...

HEHEHEH

 You have never been here!

Autmn here (which is now) is basically normal day temps which might be stil considered pretty hot by some ppl (ME!!!) and chilly night

late autmn, it gets chilly in the mornings, mena stake a blazer or a light jacket to school in the morning, youll probbaly ahve it off byt he end of the day, and night becomes cold, meaning you have to sleep in pants, american kind pants not british lol, I mean in the end dont sleep in shorts!!! (american kind   )

so i guess its acceptable

but id really like some cloudy windy days to go along with it

(i mean windy without sand, coz here in like april its so windy and theres so much sand!!)

anyway..

id think id like a european autmn more...

hows autmn in different parts of Turkey??

Do you want to swap? 15 degrees during day, 3-5 during night, hardly any summerdays, lots of rain, grey sky, autumn storms coming in about 1 month etc.

So it is what cat describes......

Ills wap but for 2 weeks only!

plus

youll pay for my accomadation and trnsportation

i odnt have a job

If you start walking now, you´ll be here in.... a year or so?

And that accommodation can be arranged.... also the job....

!!!

 The big autumn cleaning of course, what else?

Oh no, no, no, no, no!!!

me and dust and cleaning supplies dont mix!!!

ill probbaly cause more damage than good

and raking...???

with the weather you described...  eeeeek!!!

hahaha~~

i think ill just ahve to stay here then.... 

your offer is refused!!

( or denied, which is more suitable??)

you know there are some places here really awesome in the Fall really, the places that are really hot in the summer are BEAUTIFUL in the winter and fall, thats why there are tourists all year round    maybe well go during the bayram break, plus in Egypt were getting more days off coz they added a national holiday (6th of October ) to the vacation sow e get like 7 or 10 days off!!

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!
