I'm finding a super cheap 30's blues comp i got from fopp (£3! 4 CD's!) is the perfect rainy day friend.

Ooh - I think it might have stopped!

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:56 (twenty years ago) link

seven years pass...

does this shit intend on stopping any time soon

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link

ha i just finished watching the weather forecast

no, by the looks of things, although the current mid-atlantic squall over london should be the nadir

i really enjoyed the most miserably intense bit of it earlier because i was in bed with my laptop warming me watching leveson and with no need to leave the house, but even from this cosy perspective the sheer unstopping relentlessness of it becomes depressing

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link

yeah sturm und drang is always best appreciated from indoors

from tomorrow it's back to the last fortnight's enervating Miserable Pissy Rain

I hated the most miserably intense bit because I was out walking in it.

I got stuck in a spring rain at lunch, with blocks to go. My hair is well and truly fucked for the rest of the day, I think.

Pissy rain,

Pissy rain,

no-one made the obvious (esp re Prince) joke about "pussy rain" i see

a big fat fucking fat guy in a barrel what could be better? (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:22 (twelve years ago) link

Pussy comes in waterfalls. We all know this.

When we first moved in here - in fact the day Neil Young was on TV playing in Hyde Park - we had the most fucking awful downpour that caused the trough on top of the bay window to fill with water and pour into the living room. We spent the evening with towels and buckets trying to mop up the stuff before it got in the electrics. We've had it fixed since obv. but every time it's rained since I've been really terribly anxious. This week hasn't been great.

kraudive, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link

We nearly went to that NY gig - after seeing Springsteen bring the place down the night before. If we had, we've come back to the worst mess I can imagine. I'm even still anxious about Neil Young's music.

Fucking April. Though. That was August. Fucking rain.

kraudive, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:32 (twelve years ago) link

i'm meant to go out now and the rain has stopped but i am looking beseechingly at my bed, pleading with it to FORCE me into it

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:36 (twelve years ago) link

Anyone else think they might go postal simply due to the sheer relentlessness of the weather?

Had to bin my London Olympics umbrella (£14 from M&S), which is coming apart from constant use in the last few weeks.

Bob Six, Sunday, 29 April 2012 10:57 (twelve years ago) link

i'm philosophically resigned to the fact that the rain is overdue but i'm still stuck in the house going quietly spare

seapunk run. run punk run! (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:17 (twelve years ago) link

I pretty much don't leave the house except to drive to work so I quite like the rain, anything that postpones having to mow the lawn is a good thing in my book.

urrrrgh

J0rdan, Diddy (tpp), Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:40 (twelve years ago) link

The main problem is that I've found that my mental health is so much better if I set myself the challenge of a longish London walk on a Sunday, e.g. Vauxhall to Hampstead Heath, via Soho, Fitzrovia, Regents Park and Swiss Cottage and back via Haverstock Hill.

But it's not pleasant in this weather and the last few weekends have been ridiculous: sheltering from hard and cold hail on Hampstead Heath, taking shelter with wet trousers from a sudden torrential downpour in a bookshop in Primrose Hill etc...

Bob Six, Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:41 (twelve years ago) link

hmm..I could have phrased that last bit better.

Bob Six, Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:41 (twelve years ago) link

the last 24 hrs or so have been a nadir but it looks like next week will be alright (in the southeast anyway)

got really sick of the constant dampness in the air even in the interludes when it hasnt been raining

Ms Tum-Bla-Wi-Tee (nakhchivan), Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:44 (twelve years ago) link

otm. i've had visitors staying with me this weekend and wanted to take them out walking..it's really the only way i know to show off london. sucky weather.

J0rdan, Diddy (tpp), Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:46 (twelve years ago) link

omg constant rain since i woke up, sky doesn't look like it's going to clear up anytime either.

but yeah, forecast looks sweet for the week ahead.

PSOD (Ste), Sunday, 29 April 2012 11:55 (twelve years ago) link

Last night was about the most unpleasant weather I can remember ever experiencing.

Miserable Pissy Rain was AMAZING EXCITING RAIN when I was down in Cornwall, because it's so clean and energising and beautiful and makes the WAVES! SMASH! in exciting ways.

But by the time it gets to London, it's just grim.

Apparently I missed a Force 9 Gale last night - gutted - but everyone said I was lucky to get out before trees started coming down and things.

They have fangs, They have teeth! (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Sunday, 29 April 2012 12:27 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, I'm not knocking rain..just the continuous miserable pissy kind. I've had some great walks just after storms, when it's still raining, but the sun's back out and everything is sparkling, almost psychedelically, and the greenery and trees feels more alive.

But this is a kind of cold, miserly depresso rain with dull skies.

Bob Six, Sunday, 29 April 2012 12:46 (twelve years ago) link

Apparently the Cornish word for this weather is actually "mizzle"

But wait! I just saw a ray of sun!

Oh no - is it another false dawn? ("I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand")

seven months pass...

It's back (after various alarms and excursions in the UK media about an alleged drought).

Bob Six, Saturday, 22 December 2012 14:03 (eleven years ago) link

Just came back in from a walk outside during a brief let up in the rain.

I saw three shi*s come sailing in... (snoball), Saturday, 22 December 2012 14:22 (eleven years ago) link

Basically it's going to rain continously throughout Christmas, and you're going to be stuck. inside. with. your. family. for. days. UUURGHRGHH.

BOLLOCKS not far enough

Fucking slashing it down in Manchester, and has been all day. Made a trip to the recycling centre with a carload of old skirting boards and bags of hardened plaster/rubble a real treat, I can tell you.

yeah I'm near Manchester (warrington) and been raining all day. I don't mind it too much, it's very warm right now though so might go for a walk in the drizzle.

the jetstream must have diverted all the northern weather to the south today, it has been a sunny afternoon here.

gah, raining. and that piece of plywood i was going to rescue out of the skip in the next road over is probably ruined.

koogs, Sunday, 22 September 2024 00:23 (one month ago) link

We've got blocked drains on the roof and a lot of standing water on it some of which is dripping into our bathroom. Roofer tomorrow at least but more MPR tonight :(

nashwan, Monday, 23 September 2024 16:46 (one month ago) link

been raining heavily since at least 5.30 am and weather forecast says 95% chance of it continuing until 5am tomorrow. Top marks for persistence.

abandoned shopping trip after choosing the wrong 15 minutes to be outside. complete change of clothes required.

koogs, Saturday, 19 October 2024 09:49 (one week ago) link

just watched my 10-year-old play an hour of football in *this* - couldn't believe they didn't postpone the match, poor kids all shivering and slipping in the mud, guess it builds character or something.
