miserable pissy rain

Yeah it was needed, I agree.

So sometimes I’m really bad rain our car has trouble starting. Usually we wait 20 minutes or so no and everything is fine. Not today! Dead at the bottom of the Manhattan bridge, Brooklyn side, a bunch of lumber in the back seat. 2.5 hours so far waiting for tow. Pretty sure the battery is dead now too. Please somebody just murder me.

just chill out & enjoy the lovely pitter patter imo

i for one am extremely happy that April got a fitting send off this year with 2 full days of ASMR

I want to crack my skull open and eat my brain.

:(

Lol, Deflatormouse. Sorry, Ian.

Here in the upper Willamette valley of Oregon it's been a miserably grey, wet, cold spring since approx late February (nb: our spring starts a bit early compared to many other places). The past week has been one of the few oases of sunshine and warmth. Sorry about the mpr y'all have been suffering. I know the feeling. Believe me I do.

I am home now

Good to hear it

I've just planted a lot of grass seed on the parts of my garden that have recently been excavated for a new gas main and the parts wrecked by my dog, but alas it's just grey clouds that aren't even threatening a bit of light drizzle. The birds are having a party though.

ian, sorry about your car travails, especially given the conditions and location :(

Ian, thats awful! If it makes you feel any better I once completely lost my steering driving onto the Sydney Harbour bridge (a steepish downward slope) late at night in torrential rain.

I don't know why that would make you feel better. Misery <3s company, I guess.

OMG. *Hugglez* to the both of you.

miserable pissy coronation

this is my first cricket match of the season today, fuck the coronation

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
