Must... not... talk... about... global...

Ah hell, yeah. That's what I think it is, anyway. Weather is weird all over. That's what happens when you get too much energy (i.e. heat) in the atmosphere.

The weather's always been weird. It's weird every year. It's always changing. What really makes it all sound so weird are statistics. You can make statistics say anything you want them to. And when you turn those statistics into averages for comparison, it makes everything sound weirder still. I remember up through the '70s everyone was convinced we were on the verge of the next ice age and were going to freeze if we didn't do something about it. Well, I guess we've done something about THAT alright. Turned THAT problem 180 degrees in the other direction as now we're told. We just can't seem to get it right.

Again: Rain. But I shouldnt object, we have rain for a change in between.
(And I cannot move North ATM. I mean, what would I be complaining about???)

brilliant sunshine for the 3rd day running ... shame about the wind that is blowing directly from a freezer somewhere .....

Uh . . . that would belong to pshrynk. The farking Wisonsin Spring is trying to vacate the place before he gets back from sunny Mexico.

We had a clear sky for some minutes there - I have actually seen the sun (yeah, some time ago). Then it has been sticky (~22°C, very moist) for some time - and now the sky is pitch black, we have rain and strong winds.
AND I really want to write on a little piece of horror fiction (perfect weather, isnt it?) - but I have to continue working for university... :sigh:

Oh the difference lies in the distinction WHO is horrified - with the university the horror is on my part, with my fiction it is (in the best case) for my readers (whether for the style or the story is another topic to discuss

)

Another beautiful sunny day here but the cold biting wind continues. I wish it would stop.

Sweetpea · 05-13-2009, 04:55 AM

Another pure blue sky up here! And the wind is behaving itself...

GeoffC · 05-13-2009, 04:59 AM

cloudy this morning, still chilly though ...- we need some rain, the garden's beginning to suffer ....

ShortNCuddlyAm · 05-13-2009, 05:47 AM

Overcast and drizzly

ravenne · 05-13-2009, 05:53 AM

Some sun, lots of rain, some sun, lots of rain.... 20 °C though, so could be even worse....

That's one advantage of the heavy clay we're on. It will hold water very well. Even though the top might be cracked and baked, if you manage to dig about 30cm deeper, it's still moist.
