The signs that winter is here, despite being very delayed this year:

1. The clocks have gone back, bringing us that little bit closer to the day when I arrive at work in darkness and leave again after the sun goes down.
2. A new Pratchett is sitting, waiting to be read.
3. We’re starting to worry about how things will look at the end of the financial year, as opposed to tidying up how they were at the end of the last one.
4. TLW has broken out the first stew of the year.

Cue the Eddard Stark memes…
