Dirty rice is basically my version of jollof but with fewer ingredients to colour the rice.
Had to kill the rest of the pint of vanilla Haagen-Dazs and some raspberries, blender came out again.

Who could have predicted thunderstorms in incredibly hot weather?
Everyone was/is frantically trying to get stuff harvested today before the inevitable deluge hit(s), hopefully successfully. Here it is still gorgeous, sweaty and sticky, although I found myself sitting under the sole wispy raincloud in a blue sky earlier. Refreshing but annoying.

Annoying week to have chosen for a staycation, but its the overcast gloom I hate more than the rain.

I've got to go out in that shortly.

BBQ totally happened and was a success last night, cooked under a tarpaulin and it was DELICIOUS

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.

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.

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.

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.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 26 August 2017 11:49 (seven years ago) link
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.

but rain is summer is also good
― mark s, Saturday, 26 August 2017 12:31 (seven years ago) link
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.

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.
