But you're scottish (or welsh, depnds who is posting). You BELONG in the rain, just like me. It's the rain that makes us the rugged souls that we are, who can take on the burdens of life with a smile and nary a complaint! Who wants to be a southern softy??? :-p

Mmmm - yes it was a fantastic day today wasn't it? Did a bit of gardening and it got so hot that I had to go inside for a bit! At 5pm the thermometer in the garden reckoned it was 29 degrees.

Us Southerners are tough. Forget the weather, driving to work is a lesson in survival of the fittest. Don't forget, YOU are the southerner to Mr MC, which makes me some kind of hypersoutherner.

Poo on you, I am jealous. Sadly I am excited about 55 degrees F (12C) tomorrow. And you would be amazed at how warm that feels after a winter of 20 below zero F (-28 C).

I think someone is being less than truthful. The maximum recorded temperature in the Uk yesterday was 18! :-p
Posted by: steve | 17 Apr 2004 09:28:07
That was the maximum recorded temperature. It was definitely hotter than that outside my car [I've got thermometer in the car]. It went up to 23 degrees! Perhaps if they had been recording in Kirsty's garden...
Posted by: mr mcmuffin | 17 Apr 2004 09:36:48
Yeah right. Every weather recording station in the sarf went to sleep for a while and only bloggers were recording temperatures during the "freak hot spell" :-p
Well, it was 8 and pissing down here and I'm proud of it.

Strange that, init! They were probably lulled to sleep by the unusually warm weather. That heat really takes it out of you sometimes. Fortunately we bloggers are a hardier breed and Kirsty is a teacher, the hardest of them all...with the exception of Policemen. They can be quite hard. Also, Soldiers are quite hard too, and I know that the little boy who lives across the road from me is quite hard because he scares me a little bit. In fact, I try not to make eye contact with him when I see him. If he doesn't torture little animals I would be surprised. I just don't want to be his first human victim. Remember there always has to be a FIRST victim. I don't want to be remembered as the first victim of the world's only child serial killer. Assuming the Police would be able to find my body after he had cut it up into little bits and flushed it down the toilet. I need to stop, I am scaring myself.
Anyway, it was very hot here yesterday!

Well the thermometer *was* in direct sunlight, but so was I - so I think in all fairness it accurately represents the temperature I was experiencing.
;-)
We had all the doors and windows open and without the heating on it was 26 degrees in the house.
Now I look like some sort of temperature obsessive with thermometers in the house and garden.
There's one in the MINI too!

Don't worry, I think it is a British thing. We have one of the mildest climates in the world, but yet we are obsessed by even the slightest variation in temperature.

I don't obsess aboyt the weather like some. Old folk, retired people, they seem the worst. My in-laws and eledrely aunty, they set the video to record the weather forecast each day and then plan their whole life around what it says. And if it's not how they say (be it hot or cold) they moan and moan about how "they said it has to be cold..." or whatever. And they don't realise that the TV weather forecasts are only for the south. When they say "it'll be a record high today" they only mean in London; "there'll be storms today" only means London...
Our Nothern weather forecast consists of "look out the window, see what it's like and then always take a warm coat and an umbrella regardless of what you see".

Technology is wonderful, and I love the future as much as the next man, but when I was a kid, I used to look out of the window. If it was raining, it was raining, and if it was snowing, it was snowing, and if it was sunny...well, in truth, growing up in Orkney, meant that I rarely saw the sun. It was only when I came to live in the Sarf that I realised just how hot the sun could be. Oh, sure sometimes the sun shone, but the main feature of Orkney's weather is THE WIND. All day, every day, the wind blows. Don't go to Orkney unless you like the wind and mixing with people who are all related to each other in the most unhealthy way.

Unless you have lived oop North you have no concept of how 'southern' the news and weather is.
It really used to annoy me, but I live dahn sahf now so I don't care!!
Posted by: Kirsty | 17 Apr 2004 11:08:28
IT's a fact, as a kid I didn't care about the weather or the forecast. Even now it doesn't bother me - rain, snow or shine I have to go to work all day and that's that. I guess THAT'S why old folk obsess about the forecast. They have all day to actually do something! (Like go to queue in the post office/banks at lunch time, or take up seats on commuter busses, or generally do all they can to make life difficult for those of us that still work. But that's another (very bitter) blog)

Don't forget all that air they are using!

I'm amazed, a one line post about the weather (Oh, and schadenfreude of course) and us Brits can't stop talking about it. We truly are weather obsessed.
I took my morning coffee outside this morning. For no other reason than because I live in the south, and I can! Of course I had to wrap a blanket around me, but I think you have to do that in the North on the hottest summer's day, or so Big Sis tells me.
