Yanbu. AF sums it all up neatly for me. I'm just the same - never learn. Well next year we're def not staying in thes country for another dose of this

I see the met office are getting it in the neck for mis-forecasting the summer weather (again)

I am sitting here in a dark room (very gloomy outside), listening to the rain, with the central heating on.

Helloooo???

If you're in the UK, YAB slighly Unreasonable to expect dry washing in the summer.

With the odd exception of a freaky, baking summer, like several years ago, this is how it generally is. This is summer holidays British styley.

YANBU, however, in moaning about the weather. It's a crock. And the weather people promised so much for this year

I have the lights on because I will bump into furniture otherwise.

i think November is normally warmer and drier than this.

When I had DS1 (2004) I had the whole of that summer off and it was just lovely. Why is it too much to expect more than a week of sun from April to September?

We currently camping and feel fortunate that it stayed dry for long enough to put tent up Monday. Been raining pretty much since then.
On here drying out!!

hope you don't have what we had in Bavaria until last week - 5 solid weeks of rain. I think it didn't rain for 2 of those days. Otherwise it rained, and I mean really heavy, massive thunder & lightening etc etc for 5 weeks. Now it's stopped raining and it's too hot to go out

Hope appt goes OK.

Well, I'm in the middle of "fan-gate" at work. The stupid ridiculous men in the team, who are set near the window, have decided they are hot and have switched their oscillating fan on. I have asked them to switch it off. I'm sat in my coat in the office, in july. They refused. I now have a heater on as well. Idiots.

Oh my god, it's slightly brightened here i.e. from black sky to sort of mid grey. Maybe my sundance has worked?
