What Is The Weather Like Where You Are?

Haha, a man thing having to do with the weather? Yeah sure thing it is.

No, a Man Thing about playing with fire! We have a real fire and whenever men come round they always want to put a log on/poke the fire (NOT a euphemism)/ put some coal on.
My mum always said if you played with fire you'd wet the bed...!

Now, I hadn't heard that one.
Daughter#1 went through a pyromaniac phase. She was the one who used to wet the bed (a bit) when she and her sister were in bunks. Being the bigger one, she was in the top bunk. And the answer is yes poor little #2 frequently woke up under a slightly damp and smelly duvet.

However, I think the playing-with-matches phase (once she managed to melt a big hole in an acrylic carpet) was when she was about 10, which would have been a good 6-7 years later. It was probably a step on to her first career in analytical chemistry. So maybe it worked the other way round with her.

All is revealed. All these floods and torrential rain are caused by gay people

It was in the paper, so it has to be true

More likely to be bankers and politicians if you ask me - they've done far more to enrage God! And me, come to that...

Dull, dull, dull again in England's wet and sodden land. Yet another fortnight's worth of rain in one morning. But thankfully not cold!

[Gill the Piano]

Sunny here. No, thunder and lightning very very frightening. No, sunny. No....

We had extremely low cloud at lunchtime, and I happened to be on the elevated bit of the M5 at the time. Lovely bright sunshine three hours afterwards. Hope my onions aren't affected too much!

Bright then dull/wet. Then warm and now dull and wet Again. I might get wet on the way to my bookshop tomorrow it's more showers and unsettled stuff tomorrow. Flaming June, my foot.
