No - not hunkers marra - on my haunches though.
Hunkers is another Septic phrase - "Hunker down" was originally an American phrase and means to dig in or settle in to ride out troubled times - that's came into our English language over the years.
Just hate Americanisms me like.
'Hunkers' is pitmatic, shirley?

Not in my vocabulary I'm afraid - go down on your haunches to me is squatting with your haunches resting on the backs of the heels.
Might be out in pit-yakking territory.
Yackers spent most of their working lives down on their hunkers in their hoggers!
Definitely. The lad’s probably one of them posh townies that actually had chairs and settees and stuff. I bet he even calls it a sofa or couch, you know the type

Im in Perth. Bit of wind and rain nowt out the ordinary yet.
7pm here now,had a bit strong wind and a bit of rain,nothing really bad.Need the rain badly.Pumps the oranges in the back garden full of juice .
Rain forecast for all of next week,gerrin.
Lightning started a bush fire about a week ago( 2 weeks?).Should put that out,long way from Perth and no danger to houses/lives .City has been stinking of smoke once in a while.
Farmers are really happy if the rain reaches 200 klms inland to the grain growing areas,they need it badly.

I hate stay safe because I just associate it with the virus now and there’s not a lot you can do to stay safe unless you stay indoors forever which is impossibleHunkering Down
f***ing hate that phrase.
Aye the bairn said much the same.
Just looking at the satellite images of the storm, it’s covering more or less the whole of the SW coast from Exmouth way down to Albany. It took us a couple of days to drive that when we did our road trip so that’s one hell of a big weather system.

Stay alert then.
