Autumn is probably my favourite month.

Good for you, but this is not a dublin forum, neither is it a regional thing, its a general question.

Central heating has also reached to rest of the country, but some times an open fire is nicer.

You also have fireplaces in Dublin, but we make you use crappy, over-priced, smokeless fuel & keep the good stuff for ourselves.

I like in a small flat so I have a superser, instant heat and you only have to leave it on for about 10 minutes for the place to be roasting and for only €30 for a bottle of gas that will last up to two and a half months you can't complain. Best thing ever to have on the cold winter mornings, jump out of the bed, put it on and dive back under the covers and wait 10 minutes for the room to heat up and you're sorted. Great invention.

Brendog · 30-08-2010 02:55PM

Its freezing in the morning and at night and its just the end of August.

This winter is going to suck camel dick....

mike65 · 30-08-2010 02:58PM

Its sweltering outside now in the sun, but they said the still nights would be cool. Tis soon the season of mellow fruitfulness. My favourite time of year.

Only August, so it's still a bit oily for that....

--LOS-- · 30-08-2010 03:10PM

I had the electric heater on for the first time in ages yesterday evening, bring on winter, sick of being blinded by the sun, it might be roasting outside today but I've goosebumps inside now.

Scráib · 30-08-2010 03:16PM

I like Autumn and the days that look sunny and warm but that are actually nippy. Always have, no idea why. Maybe I just like the couch, fire and a DVD too much. None of this 'outside' and 'activities' business.

There's always a single point when you're leaving Summer and the weather is getting colder where you'll decide 'Right, time for the winter coat again' and suddenly the central heating is on and you're putting on the extra layers in the morning.

Personally I don' think it's there yet. Give it a few weeks though...

Done this last night when the dogs got loose, was wearing a t-shirt so I grabbed my big snowboarding jacket and went out to look for them.

It felt great.
