miserable pissy rain

update: it isn't my first cricket match of the season

For once this misery is ok.

Yup, it’s a bank holiday.

Don’t like Camilla, oh no
I love her

Well he looked down at my bunting chain (uh-huh)
He said "I'll give you one dollar"
I said "You got to be joking man... it's not even worth that"

Rained all weekend here in Montana and I think it's gonna keep going for most of the week. It's not particularly heavy rain, though; kinda misty and gentle. What's most interesting to me is that the mountains which surround me completely vanish in the clouds, which makes me realize just how much higher up I am than I was when I lived in NJ. We were driving home yesterday and I thought, Jesus, I really live in the clouds now.

Almost forgot you had moved

She said 'I've got it, you want it,
My harvest is the best
And if you try it, you'll like it,
And wallow in a forelock holiday

Lol

jesus

at least you didn't try to play cricket in this

july 22 ffs

normal english summer dude, how long have you lived here now?

i've just put a jumper on

most schools broke upyesterday.
this is exactly how it should be.

we got 4 inches of rain yesterday. Deerfield got 6 inches. Conway, right next door, got 8 inches of rain! it was nuts. it just never stopped.

get the fire on

according to MET office 80-90% chance of precipitation for the next 29 hours here. I'm just glad to not experience another hellish stagnant high pressure system like last year.

A very soggy Portobello Road and Holland Park walk today, the rain relentless in its pissiness.

xp there's still August to get through

Could do with some winter rain for my day in rn

>:(

thinking about that episode of Years And Years where it just keeps raining for three months

https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/01/northern-ireland-and-parts-of-england-had-wettest-july-on-record

no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. i was obviously wearing the wrong clothes to walk around the park this morning and they got worse as i got nearer to home.

I had to go out for 5 minutes on Sunday afternoon and almost drowned.

Well, there goes my plans for this afternoon.

i'll be honest i'm fucking sick of this and it's making me (more) miserable

it's cold with it too, i've put a jumper on

house on our street had their fire on last week pmsl. in july !

14 degrees and raining at noon in august is some kind of fuckery

(blah blah august is typically one of the wettest months) yeah it’s grim af

harvest is p fucked https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/aug/04/fears-of-food-price-inflation-rise-as-uk-harvests-hit-by-cool-wet-summer

food price inflation huh? sounds bad

For those of you afflicted by insect bites, ANTHISAN is back in Superdrug AT LAST.

the sun has almost kind of come out and i can smell gently burnt barbecue thru my open window and it smells like victory

Sun is trying its best to burn through the clouds here. There were some actually some blue skies earlier... but it was still raining!

it started hammering down again about an hour after i posted that

saw some dubious clickbait bollox reportage of ‘African plumes’ and an incoming heatwave that could stay with us until October. Looking for a more realistic forecast from the met office, Thursday is shaping up to be a decent free vit d summer day, low chance of rain and 25° peak. I don't mind this weather but it would be nice to have at least one day when you can have a few outdoor beers and chill in the garden.

Rain just ruined my morning run. Australia is meant to be exempt from this nonsense!

wasn't this supposed to be gone this week

Can't lie, if it means we avoid the heat of last summer, then keep the rain coming

Can't lie, I'm team let the world burn if it'd avoid weeks and weeks of miserable pissy fucking rain

Joke's on me, cos the world's burning anyway.

unless met office is fucking with me - no rain here until friday. It's actually sunny rn and not even me hanging up two loads of washing outside could make it rain. Thursday is looking very promising. I'm such a sad twat these days when a few days of sunshine arrives it's all about how much laundry will done - yippee.

days are divided into “great days for ducks” and “great drying days”

It's 44 degrees in Spain

22˚C and miserable pissy rain at 1 p.m. in August in Mississippi is a wonderful thing. It actually felt good to take a hot shower this morning.

unless met office is fucking with me - no rain here until friday

Hmph. After, what - four weeks? five weeks? - of zero sun, I've temporarily swapped England for Ireland, where it's just the same, but colder. Means I will miss the brief respite this week.

I can remember one year going to a rain sodden Newquay that practically never stopped raining only to see reports of a northern mini-heatwave from a caravan where rain patting against the fibreglass is louder than seagulls and then returning back to miserable pissy rain in the north, where normal service had been resumed.

This particular intense but relatively narrow band of rain we had today seems to stretch from Trondheim all the way out to the Azores. I just think that's neat.

Comforting to know it'd still be raining if I'd stayed home all those years ago I guess.

Current pattern of nice crisp sunny mornings followed by rainy days could be worse.
