Ember

Ember has thirty-two days, and is a month of the Discword year roughly analagous to our November. It is preceded by Sektober and suceeded by December. The Celebrated Discworld Almanak notes it is the month known as the Preacher, as it can be cold, dull and wet. Potatoes may be harvested with due thanks to Ep;idity, but in the main this is a fallow month of clearing and cleansing. apparently it is a very good month for harvesting nuts and edible fungi. But beware the gripenut and the fact that the deathcap may only be distinguished from the Horse Truffle only by close examination of the gollets, which, as you would expect, turn purple if pressed with the back of a silver spoon. Whilst all mushrooms are edible, the trick is to eat only those which will prove to be edible more than once. The Celebrated Discworld Almanak reccomends you play safe and eat beans on toast. The Flying Moose and the Pitcher (or some might say The Bucket) are the signs dominating the heavens and are good for hunters..
