miserable pissy rain

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Record high July temperatures measured in the first couple of weeks, btw - short memories on display here

I was wondering if there was a difference elsewhere than here,. I think it rained a lot at that time, certainly is now. BUt I did think I was hearing better things from elsewhere including the East coast of the country and definitely France.

The one weekend I remember it being super hot we were in Sussex for a wedding.

Friday was relentless. Sunday just kept starting and stopping in this v annoying fashion with a bit of sun for about five mins.

Weather has followed up to Edinburgh. Needed cheering up I guess.

I think the bourgeoisie over here must own the weather bureau. The first day of Race Week suddenly sees the weather become summery. I'm quite disgusted.
But at least I do now have the meds for flu recovery so things might just look up shortly.

Shitty weather I hate you
Why can't it just be sunny and pleasantly warm for 4 months

windy. serpentine was a bit parky this morning. septemberish feeling.

Felt like late September on my commute this morning; wore a jacket and everything.

One thing I've noticed in past weeks about Edinburgh is this, at times, really really light drizzle, bordering on non-existent but just enough to notice.

This week is just shit - haven't taken my coat and lost my umbrella on Sunday.

Back to rain again. So hopefully race people will get wet.

Could use some fucking rain around these parts to cool off these unending 30-degree days - got about 10 minutes worth on Saturday morning, the only rain in the last two weeks

You can have ours if you want to collect it.

just about to take a few mile trek on the tops and it is drizzly and changeable, this hardcore rain-walker don't take no shit from jive-ass h20.

Clearly a bit churlish to complain here in London, when others have had to contend with extensive flooding, but it is a bit relentless today.

has been relentless for several days here in the s/w.
lights on during so called daylight hours.
cannot remember such an extended dark/miserable/grey/wet period.
everyday i thank the lords of opportunity that my wife made us buy a house on a hill ..

should probably thank your wife imo

ditto mark e (we are in the same city I think), my OH always makes us live up a hill

First extended period both of us off work with the baby, wish we could've made more of it. He's happy with the swings though.
