Enjoying summer?

Post by steve_earwig »

Apparently it's about 20 degrees and raining in the UK, you lucky devils - it was 35 here today, going out the house is like being hit on the head with a rolled up newspaper.

Still, a week ago it was about 16 and we were thinking about running the heating :(

Yeah, ok, I'm bored. All there is on telly is a program about Hitler. In German. With Croatian subtitles. :roll:

I think I could take this heat if I knew I only had to survive for a couple of weeks but this is just the start, it'll be like this and warmer for a couple of months, with summer thunderstorms that boom and crash all afternoon but all you get is a light shower for 5 minutes. And hot winds, they make you want to throw open the windows but you know when you close them again it'll be even hotter. I'm English for chrissakes, I can't stand it! :(

Btw they've handed out the suicide pills, Eva Braun's obviously nuts, Der Fuhrer's blowing hot and cold but Goering's kids are having fun. Ooh, handgrenades at the dinner table, must be Christmas.

I'm off to Belgium later this week. Got to admit the current weather is terrifying me. I don't want rain coming down and diluting my beer!

That's it, you've guaranteed it'll rain the whole time now.
