The Weather!
Newest Review: ... out every night to spend half an hour with the hose watering my courgettes, my onions, my brocolli, as the ehavens have done it for me. So that's quite nice. For my garden. But standing looking at the buckets and water butts full of rainwater in my garden, sending praise to the heavens that I live on a hill and that we've got good drains, I can't help but think of all those people, who ... more  ... don't live on the other side of the world, or even on the other side of the Channel Tunnel, but who live hours from my back door, who can't go home tonight because their home is full of water and other people's sh*t.

Sing a Song of Sunshine It's raining again. I'm sure there's a song which starts with that line, and it's been stuck on a loop in my brain for weeks. Today on the bus home the driver could barely see out of the front window for the amount of rain that was battering the front of the bus, the roads were swimming in water and yet five minutes away from the centre of town, where I was due to get off, the pavements were dry as a bone.

As people we have to communicate with each other. Sometime it is difficult to start a conversation so what do you talk about. Why not talk about the weather. People use weather as a filler to pass time or to make small talk.

There have been more than one perfect days ruined by rain or worse. Last time my Barbie was sabotaged by ...

I hate the cold weather and receiving e mails on a weekly basis from my relative in New Zealand makes me glad it is summer here! As I sit here with the sun blazing down it is hard to visualise how cold and miserable it will be there. Although most of us say we love the hot weather, I wonder if we would feel the same if every day was the same with predictable sunshine and heat? Never having lived in a hot country for more than a few weeks I am not sure what my opinion would be. Maybe I would miss the rain? There is something about the freshness that is in the air after a summer rainfall, but when it is happening day after day and the skies are ...
