06 Sep 12 Necessary Evils
Work and Rain. Who wants them? We need both of them.
We have to work, not only to earn money to pay our way in the world, but to give a service or product to our fellow-men. Think about it, if we were all idle rich, who would make the stuff we need, grow our food, and give us all the services we expect with our contemporary living style?
Same goes for rain really. It’s a pain in the butt when you plan a day out after two weeks at work, and then it rains all darn day. Still, we’d not live in a green and pleasant land without it.
I’ve got two weeks vacation time in September, and of course, I’m hoping that the weather is good enough to be able to indulge in some outdoor activities – that it’s not too cold, and not too wet!
Still, if it isn’t I’ll have to make the best of what’s on offer. We can’t change the weather yet – which is probably a good thing, as I’m sure we’d manage to screw that up big time!
Anyway, next time it rains on your day off, just remember you’re lucky to live in a place where there’s usually enough rain, and you’re lucky to have a job that you can have a day off from!
Have a good one!

28 Jun 12 Summertime
It’s a glorious blue sky day here in London. Heading towards a high near 80 degrees this afternoon.
I wish it was like this all year round!

02 Aug 11 Heatwave?
So the moaners are out already!
We get a month of pretty crappy weather thru July, and as soon as the weather warms up again, and we get some glorious summer days and evenings, the muttering commences!
For those of you who do not like a decent summers day, just remember that warm spells here rarely last long!
