1.5 hours till the weekend and the weather up here is Gorgeous. So, in 1.4 hours I predict pissing rain, lasting for around 60 hours.

Oh please stop teasing the gods… I’m supposed to be at a music festival all weekend.
Well, I don’t know about Olde England, but at long last things are starting to look up in New England. There’s this weird bright yellow circle in the sky, and I’m no longer shivering.

We’ve actually used our new fireplace twice this summer.
Fuck this shit!
Though I have to say it was lovely for about a week between August 3rd and August 10th.

Which was when I spent my annual week with my ex, in London. HAH!
(Planned it two months in advance, too!)
Also, on a point of interest, it is boiling hot in Oslo at the moment.

It now turns out that all that flooding we had in June and July has contaminated our beaches. It’s something to do with sewerage and other contaminates getting into the rivers and then into the sea, thus mucking up the beaches. So, even if it’s fine this Bank Holiday and you go to the coast, you will probably catch something nasty on the beach. No, I’m not talking about the pox !

You could only take it if some Scouser hadn’t taken it already.

Ok, I moved here from Seattle 6 years ago. It rains here a lot, it’s way far north, it’s on the same latitude as Moscow. It’s dark, it’s grey, and it’s cold. I get it, I really do.
But what the hell happened to summer this year? It’s fucking August, I’ve already got seasonal affective disorder, I’m wearing a sweater and jeans and wool socks IN MY FLAT, and it’s pissing down rain and cold as hell out side. Global warming my speckled arse.
What.
The.
Fuck.
Look, England - I don’t bitch about the winters. I don’t bitch about the food. I even don’t bitch too much about the chavs and the scumbags. I don’t bitch about the high prices, crowds, or drunken scum picking fights and throwing kebabs and cans of lager about outside the train station at 2am.
But this is just taking the piss. Sort this out immediately, or I promise you, England, action will be taken!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I remember an old Britich comedy movie. The hero made his living by being a subject in medical experiments. While he was being shown around the facility he was taken into a room where there was a big pile of ice on which water was being sprayed. Then big fans blew that icy water onto a bunch of people sitting in bleachers watching a movie of some sort of sporting event.
As they left a sign on the door to the room read, “British Summer Simulator.”

Today is actually quite nice over here to be honest. Here’s a pic from out my window at work about 10 mins ago.

You think you bloody Europeans have it bad! The weather here brings out hordes of nature-obstructing bodies, who interfere with my bird watching, as this (http: //www.darchtimes.com/blog/mar2006/leilanibig.jpg)photo, taken 10-minutes ago from my chase lounge attests to. (Please step aside, Missy, so I can see the blue-footed boobies plunging behind you!).

Bad mistake on my part. Your location shows you are actually from Manchester so I should have known better.
You should send some of the rain our way. We haven’t had enough rain in a year to make a kitten’s tail wet.
I remember rain (sigh).

Ah so we Mancs are not the only ones aware that manure fans come either from darn sarf, Hong Kong, Turkey and other distant climes
Another fine and sunny day, that’s 6 on the trot now
