The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham News and Links for Thursday, October 12

good morning!

I first realised that it was autumn on my way home from work the other week. I crossed the street and noticed a bunch of leaves on the sidewalk. I had to crunch them, of course.

So I look around at the other trees and notice all the colours are changing - huzzah!

Since then the temperature has been steadily dropping and I’ve busted out knitwear. Finally it’s sweater weather season.

But it just feels like autumn, ya know? I’ve been waiting a long time for it to come around this year. Sick of the heat, the humidity, the mosquitos.

Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the sun setting before 7pm (or 6om) but I guess that’s a sacrifice we have to make when living in this wonderful weather.

So put on your jumpers, make that second cup of coffee and enjoy the autumn season.
