Is this the worst (britishes) summer ever?

Seems to be a lingering gloomy overcastness in London at the moment. A bit of sunshine wouldn't hurt.

Let's not get greedy, at least it's not relentlessly pishing it down - that's scheduled for tomorrow.

This summer has been strange. The early part was much drier, warmer, and sunnier than recent years. There was hardly any rain for months. All the streams and brooks out in the country were completely dried up. Now, it's gone the other way and the last six weeks, or something like that, have been predominantly cloudy with constant outbreaks of rain, not necessarily heavy most of the time but enough to spoil things.

it's my fault, I went to cornwall on holiday and that's when it all went shit.

You know, it's been fine in Fife the past couple of days - even nice today. Unfortunately it's the start of the Lammas market today, which means lots of people/noise, which isn't my thing.

oh take a day off, rain

i mean, i know August is usually shit and then it gets nice again, but September is going to have to be flipping TREMENDOUS to make up for this. i'm actually starting to panic that this is it until next April

The Bank Holiday weekend is going to be hot. It is meant to be 27 degrees on Monday.

lol, that has been revised down to 19 degrees since i checked this morning.

I sometimes wonder if we need a 'Is this the worst Scottishes Summer ever' thread. When it's raining here you guys are sunny. It's quite nice today - I sat outside and read for a while - but you guys are getting soggy.

Thank fuck its great this weekend.

rain is good not bad

george benson no less once explained this to me wrt the lovely greenness of england = one of its few positive features

Rain in Autumn plz.

I have often explained to my colleagues from Europe that this is why Great Britain and Ireland is so green - I can now use George Benson to bolster my argument.

it is autumn

but rain is summer is also good

as g.benson teaches us

I can remember a bad NME article on footballers and music that trash-talked George Benson. It summarised that professional footballers with perms and a penchant for George Benson = bad. And people like Pat Nevin with a well documented love of white indie rock = good and progressive. It would probably look very very bad now. To keep it topical, it is quite warm and balmy up here today. Might cut the hedges.

Sat in my gardeb drinking vodka and reading Moomin comics. That's a good day by my standards. Clouding over now.

(garden, obv)

Is this the best (britishes) summer ever?

feared this might be the mithering Indonesia shut-in freak. but yes - we shall enjoy these years, before the Great Die-Off

*mothering of some shut-in freak, bloody autocorrect

MITHERING

I'm sitting in the sun reading a book anyhow :)

Could do with a little rain every now and then if it's anything like this side of the Irish sea. Authorities are talking about drought.
BUt nice and sunny. Just could do with a little interspersing water refreshment innit.

Oh I'm expecting drought warnings any time soon.

we had some rain in london the other night and it just made it hot AND sticky, rather than just hot.

Of course I'm missing all the good weather through working and then sitting indoors all day watching football when I'm not working.
