miserable pissy rain

the climate change predictions for northwest europe dont seem that consistent, some suggesting cooler some suggesting that it will just be like taking 5 degrees of latitude away so we get warmish weather while spain turns into algeria

in the comments there (suicideneil) there are some pictures of people in america doing the same thing

'i come from a rain planet'

'did you like it there?'

'we didn't know any better'

Bank Holiday: workers' playday washout in London.

Play inside.

Aargh

soggy

Aargh, again.....I'm impatient for Spring to start properly here in London.

soggy again

first cricket match of the season today, so of course

so many Bank Holiday options

I've gone back to 'pretending I'm an extra in Blade Runner' mode.

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

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

are there any custom ales for the tour?

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

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

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

MISERABLE TO WHO? I QUITE LIKE A BIT OF RAIN SO STICK TO THE FACTS

nigel blackwell didn't have a cricket match that day

love rain

Come precipitate

ew

cricket probably more interesting if played during torrential downpours

more interesting and much more unpleasant to play

nakh's all watching through a telescope from the attic though, chuckling

interestingly, there's maybe the most interesting match England or the West Indies (ShariVari's team) have played in a year or two coming to a potentially thrilling conclusion today, yall should tune in

recently on ILX Dreams...

i'll see you online

what is that cricket satidum where ppl watch from their roofs? edgbaston maybe

sounds like trent bridge? lemme check

xxxxxp
Bloody hell is Anvil in Grange Moor?

> MISERABLE TO WHO? I QUITE LIKE A BIT OF RAIN SO STICK TO THE FACTS

Soggy again.

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.

the good thing is, it's raining on a work da-

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.

had a nice time not going outside today

fuck off winter, you've had your turn

lost my regatta waterproof at a festival right at the beginning of the summer and i can't afford a new one. hate umbrellas.

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?

It's like 2008 again.

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