Blogging for almost four months
and no mention of the weather yet? Must put that right immediately or folks will begin to think I don’t really live in the UK…
The weather has improved immeasurably this past couple of days. Cooler temperatures, rain, wind, thunderstorms. “Lubbly jubbly”. We can even snuggle under the duvet at night now. I feel very selfish celebrating the better weather - I’m sorry for those on holiday, especially under canvas, but I do so hate the hot weather. If forced to choose between spending a month in the Antartic or the Sahara desert I would always choose the Antartic. Not that it’s ever likely to happen, but you know, it’s nice to have these decisions made in advance.
So why do we Brits discuss the weather so frequently? Two reasons - it’s a good “filler” for those awkfward moments during conversations at the pub, the local shop, the park, etc. etc. but I think it’s also that we have such a wonderful climate.
So my nominations for “best thing about the country I live in” would be the climate and the BBC. Can’t decide which yet.
So, what’s the best thing about the country you live in?
Update: Buggeration, I really should go read some blogs before I start wobbling on. Richard has already covered the weather today via a Monday madness questionnaire. *Throws teddy in corner*.
