Good to put a few moments aside to celebrate the dignity of labour on International Workers Day

she looks like how i feel about going to the shops right now
― contendo conformo (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:00 (nine years ago) link
I have enjoyed the light rain this morning, walking across the fields to the shop. then there was an opening and clear blue skies for 10 minutes, then the rain came back
Later, the tour de yorkshire is passing through here
― anvil, Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:26 (nine years ago) link
are there any custom ales for the tour?
― ogmor, Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:28 (nine years ago) link
I havent seen any custom ales!
I just saw a large group of people walk down the lane to the main road, it looks like the cyclists are coming through in 30 minutes time
― anvil, Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:38 (nine years ago) link
I miss cycling in yorkshire, even in the rain. an old friend of mine brewed something for when the tour de france started in yorks but idk if this would merit an ale
― ogmor, Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:52 (nine years ago) link
Well obv a miserable pissy rain thread would have to have a Yorkshire related revive! I actually love rain myself. Alls you need is a £20 trespass jacket and some headphones and rain isn't very miserable at all although sometimes I admit if it becomes too prolonged it would be nice to rent some of it out to the State of California or something.

I'm suprised to learn that where i am (very) briefly staying, is in the extreme south of your electoral seat. I see there was a major boundary redraw in 2010

cricket probably more interesting if played during torrential downpours

more interesting and much more unpleasant to play

I walked two miles while it was wazzing down this morning. I've got waterproof boots, but they're only properly waterproof from the bottom up. From the top down the rain gets in eventually. Also I was wearing a waterproof jacket but the rain got through the zip at the front, and waterproof trousers, but the bottoms of the jeans I was wearing underneath got damp.

fuck

Had a good walk round Soho and the light rain seemed to a good accompaniment to contemplating how much it is changing. You can't beat a gloomy rainy Sunday for slightly melancholic nostalgia.

lost my regatta waterproof at a festival right at the beginning of the summer and i can't afford a new one. hate umbrellas.
― (no offence to people) (dog latin), Monday, 27 July 2015 08:18 (eight years ago) link
Is this summer as wet elsewhere than here? I hadn't heard. Seems to have rained much more than sunshined.& it just keeps relapsing my cold/flu/whatever which has me feeling like I'm bobbing think it always triggers some level of vertigo. Lovely.
But at least all the shrubbery is getting watered regularly. So everything is looking green. THough I do think it needs both heat and light to really do that well.
Noticed a couple of weeks ago that in previous years by that point i was reduced to having to sleep under a duvet less duvet cover to keep cool enough to sleep. I'm still under a full duvet this year and have been cold under that. I know people who've had to put the heat on too. Hope August understands the u and non-u of summer weather behaviour better than July has.Is this the beginning of another ice Age?

ah come on, it's been two days of bad weather after a really good summer. the forecast is for sun again tomorrow.

don't remember '08 summer so well..? was it bad? 2011 or whatever year Take Shelter came out was bad. I remember because the day after I saw that film, it rained and then it rained non stop for weeks.
LG is right though - we've had some decent days of sunshine. Kids shouldn't get a school holiday IMO, it brings the rain.
― (no offence to people) (dog latin), Monday, 27 July 2015 10:08 (eight years ago) link
2011 was weird over here, or at leas t in North West mayo where i spent most of it. April was so dry that there were gorse fires at the end of it. Didn't rain for 2 1/2 or 3 weeks then it started raining possibly in early May and seemed to keep it up solidly from then on. Probably was dry for some periods but not for long. I spent a lot of the time in places taht I couldn't really get too warmed up Just try to change into dry clothing.
I wound up coming down from up there wearing 2 fleeces and a pair of leather jeans feeling it was about right for the heat, but also because most of my clothing was being washed. Hit Galway and it was actually pretty warm so i was overhot.Nopt sure how weather compared between the 2 locations at other times,, I do think there was flooduing in various places at times though.
― Stevolende, Monday, 27 July 2015 10:34 (eight years ago) link
Doesn't feel like it's been a good summer in the South West. Feels like 2008. I think 2009 was bad too. Last summer and the one before were good, I think. July's been very cold.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 27 July 2015 10:45 (eight years ago) link
I've been wearing long trousers in the evenings which is practically unheard of before September.

I was in East Lothian all of last week and the weather was mostly fine, rising to sweltering at times
