miserable pissy rain

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.

facebook is baiting me

moving out in a week or two, but going on holiday tomorrow and we have rain leaking into the house, pouring from ceiling to floor down the walls, dripping from the kitchen ceiling, flooding the outside courtyard. I'm terrified I come home and find my stuff waterlogged.

ugh. Is someone watching the place so they can at least move stuff if it gets worse?

I'm going to move anything precious to another room. landlord is hopefully sending someone over to look at the house while we're away.

Ugh, I just walked a circuit from Holborn Nationwide to the little Waitrose and back home again, in a Barbour, and got home absolutely wringing wet.

shit DL that is terrible. Has it happened before?

miserable pissy rain torrential downpour

5degC and pissy miserable rain in the morning ugh :( winter in Melbourne can suck arse sometimes.

shit

I just opened this thread and it started to rain :(

aw man what did you want to go and do that for

Soggy again.

A hint of sunshine would have been nice.

classic reliving my youth. standing in the rain waiting for a bus going to a party in the miserable pissy rain. beer in plastic bags. first bus shoots past. bus a back street stopper. going to walk home for three hours later just to go the full proust.

Soggy again.

just played a full 90 in this

holy shitballs, Batman
(sudden torrential downpour just came out of nowhere during a 24 dec C day)

See what happens when you complain about it being too hot?

rain is good, it tests our new gutters

naturally they are failing the test, at the same mysterious place they always fail

We haven't all got gutters that need testing, mark. Or do we?

Feeling a bit foolish giving out materials I prepared for my students' trip to Cambridge tomorrow which tell them all about punting down the river, sitting in the parks and an open-air swimming pool.

bordeaux is deluged.

donc la deluge

Although I have forgotten what donc means if it means anything at all.

put a donc on it

Some anthropologists reckon there are a few different words for miserable pissy rain in Doncaster.

Oh right, I thought we were the only people getting this while everybody else got a heatwave.
Well, keeps the country green I guess. & what would the alternative be?
Galway wouldn't look as nice as a desert.

A couple of months back I looked out of the window to see some weird mist like thing happening outside which I couldn't see the reason for. Found out that a couple of weeks without rain had lead to gorse fires out in Connemara direction. Was far more noticeable in town apparently, I just got this weird mist/fog thing.
So better not to have that repeating i guess.

today manchester has been overcast, with occasional light spitting rain, and pleasantly cool. I could go for a bit of mist though

I love the rain and moderate temperatures. There was a wave of violent assaults here during the hot spell and there always is, because people go fucking mental in the heat. One of the violent assaults occurred on one of my dog-walking routes and the perp's description was a dead-ringer for me (well 90% of violent crime is probably done by old white baldy males) and he had his dog with him as well. I'm just just glad it was a Spaniel and not a Black Labrador, lest I end up like Peter Fonda in The Wrong Bald Bastard.

It's true that Britain and Ireland are very green, I like this.

the time i interviewed george benson at the london hilton in the late 80s he said the exact same (except not about ireland)

horsing it down in london

I think it is the hilly/mountainous terrain of places like The North and southern Eire that I like, as well as the rain. I was having this conversation with my bro coming back from London t'other week. Places that are flat as a pancake in the UK don't quite feel like home when you are a hillbilly.

Slashing down here. Just got in after walking back from the bus stop. Summer!

calzino massively otm!
