Advantages: Sitting outside the pub with an Ice cold pint of Stella on a hot day

Disadvantages: Getting peed on from a great height!

These reviews seem to be very popular at the moment so I just had to write one.

Looking out of the window now whilst I sit at my desk during my lunch break Dooyooing I notice that it looks cold. This morning on the drive into work it was misty and I found I needed fog lights! Mist in June??

The weather is an interesting subject and you can debate for hours on what is causing climate change. My other half has a theory on this (he isn't quite the ignoramous that I am!). He says that if you look back through history then climate change is all part of nature. We've had the Ice Age etc and it does beg the question of whether nature is just taking it's course. Or is it down to man that we are accelerating this natural change? Is it just the government that is conditioning us into thinking that it is caused because of polluting the atmosphere in order to introduce more 'green' stealth taxes?

Well, according to my other half the latter is true and Climate Change actually causes global warming and is in fact natural and not man made in that particular sense. (God I even sound like him now!) So which is true? Not sure and don't even want to hazard a guess! All I know is that it's hotter in summer than I can ever remember it being, flash flooding seems to be more common and the seasons are all to cock.

I want to get up in the morning and listen to the weather forecast and know what to wear so that I don't end up resembling a woolly sheep when it's 100 degrees. Likewise I don't want to wear flip flops when it's going to pee it down.

Last Friday is a great example. The weather forecast on a nameless radio station was thunder and heavy showers for the afternoon. So I wore a jumper, trousers and boots. Very nice pointy stilettos but I digress onto my shoe fetish here! My point is it was a lovely day. Glorious sunshine and very warm. I spent the day with a red face feeling far too hot. I couldn't wait to strip off - of course I waited till I got home - I didn't want to put anyone off their lunch!

So far this year - my plants have flowered too early, I've not seen a hint of frost on any of them either, we've had snow in February and March, freak weather where it snowed, rained, hailed and had bright sunshine in the space of one afternoon.

We now get March winds in April, April showers in May, Hot sunny days in April and May and summer seems to last until October! I'm sure it wasn't the same when I was a kid. I can remember long, hot summer days in the six week holidays where we'd have a bowl of water on the back garden (as a paddling pool) and doing my dolls washing in it along with giving Barbie a Shampoo and blowdry (if she had any hair left from my makeover hair cut!). But the days didn't seem as hot back then - maybe memory has dulled it over time.

The kind of hot summer day here is very different to abroad. I love the dry heat of being abroad but the summer in England seems to sap you of energy but we tend to have much more 'muggy' oppresive heat.

So what do I like about the weather - I want it to be warm and sunny because it makes me feel better. I need it to rain sometimes to ensure that my plants grow in my garden and I love to go for walks in the snow. (For walk read play, jump about in snow that other people haven't walked on and generally throw snow balls at my mums windows)

What don't I like about the weather? - Getting caught in Thunderstorms. A storm once scared me so badly that I peed myself but that's another story! I really hate motorway driving in torrential rain and I dislike driving in snow. I hate walking in the kind of rain that wets you through and I really, really dislike windy days. I used to hate windy days when I smoked because you'd never get your fag lit.

I love it when forecasters get the weather wrong because it gives me something to moan about and what do British people love doing? Moaning about the weather!! It's either too hot or too cold - there is never a happy medium!

Anyway - I am now rambling so I will leave you with this thought...... If you want to know what the weather is like outside then what do you do?

Summary: Look out of the window of course - it has never failed me yet!
