THIS HOT WEATHER.

Yes, it's hot and clammy.

Yes, I can't feel any breeze through the window.

Yes, the car is scorching when it's been parked in the sun.

Yes, the kitchen is like a sauna when cooking.

Yes, my feet look like they've ballooned up like a puffy fish.

BUT IT'S LOVELY SUNNY HOT WEATHER!! After all that shitty rain, it's absolutely lovely (and I normally hate hot weather).

Please don't jinx it......I don't want it to start raining again :(:(:(:(

Some of us still have just rain.

Jacksmania · 24/07/2012 23:28

Exactly. We had the shittiest spring (and winter preceding it) ever in my corner of the world, and within two days, once the weather turned, there were people bitching about the heat.

I put up with it for about 20 minutes a little bit and then raised my voice and said the next person who complains about the heat can have the never-ending rain back!!

And silence reigned in the land...

rainydaysarebad · 24/07/2012 23:33

Sorry about that penis! Hope you get some of this lovely weather soon!

Jacks- exactly! This is 1000x better than the rain. I thought we'd end up building an arc a few weeks ago, yet people are already complaining.

Yep, me too, I usually hate it when it gets hot. I have surprised myself with my enthusiasm for all this sun! The endless weeks of cold and rain were just too much to bear....

Glitterknickaz · 25/07/2012 00:00

snot clammy... not in a humid way
it's rather lovely
(although not enjoying slathering DD with factor 50 every half hour due to extreme gingerness)

K9999999999999999999 · 25/07/2012 00:02

Bollocks. I fucking hate it and will complain loudly and at length if I want to. I never complained about the rain. It was heaven compared to this shitty crappy piss ant swamp weather.

Jux · 25/07/2012 00:07

Oh it's bloody lovely! I want it to be like this for ever (except then the spiders would grow really big.)

WishingRLwouldFuckOff · 25/07/2012 00:21

there is nothing wrong with the sun. It's the sudden huge temp jumps. We just aren't just to it. The sun and blue sky thing is quite a novel change.

nokidshere · 25/07/2012 00:24

I'm with K9999999999...... I rarely moan about the weather but if I want to I will! Its far to hot for my liking - why cant we just get a nice even temp somewhere between the rain adn the sun...its not too much to ask for surely - a bit of consistancy ;)

NoComet · 25/07/2012 00:25

Now we have clear sky and it's stopped making my head hurt I'm not complaining.

It is hot, but I'm going with hot is good.

We've randomly had cold and wet and humid hot and wet for weeks. Often on the same day, so you've no idea whether to wear jeans and take a coat, or cropped trousers, T shirt and brolly.
Yesterday and today it's simply been hot, sunny and DRY!!!!!!!

LemonTurd · 25/07/2012 00:26

Agreed. My laundry basket is nearly cleared. This is unprecedented.

Inneedofbrandy · 25/07/2012 00:27

Jux please explain about the spider thing. I hate spiders in fact my skins crawling writing down the word spider ergh.

WandaDoff · 25/07/2012 00:31

Its been lovely in my garden in Glasgow today.

22', slightly breezy. Not only good for drying washing, but, comfortable in a tshirt as well Grin
DD age 3, ran around all day & fell asleep before 8pm for the 1st time EVER, I think. Absolutely splendid Smile.

Tomorrow is meant to be Scorchio though so I will probably melt. Will also have to bribe DS2 into wearing sunscreen, but will be making the most of it.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/07/2012 00:46

Thankfully I'm on holiday for 2 weeks (DC on summer holidays)

I work in NHS clinics and I can guarentee, as soon as patients put one foot across the threshold.

"Oh it's hot. It's tooooo hot. Do you like this hot weather"

Me "I don't mind" (Non commitment mode)

"Oh, do you like it? I can't stand it, it's tooo hot" Fanning themselves with appointment letter.

I don't like flying insects or people with too few clothes on. And BO (gross)

I usually say "Oh it is draining isn't it? Are you sleeping OK ? Are you drinking enough?"

17 fecking conversations a day. And sometimes they return to this riveting topic.

Head/Desk. And ask them for their appointment letter before they start wafting.

And if a wasp gets in the room. Armegeddon.
But at least the fan is quite noisy if ineffective.

MrsTerryPratchett · 25/07/2012 00:51

Jacksmania you are in my neck of the woods, aren't you. People here are moaning about the wet weather, cold weather and the heat. WHAT DO THEY WANT?

Dahlen · 25/07/2012 00:53

I'm with you. I love the sun. Makes me feel all happy. Smile

PedanticPanda · 25/07/2012 00:55

I've yet to experience all of this heat people are talking about Hmm I think yous are making it up.

watermargin · 25/07/2012 00:57

I'm too hot but i'm a winter gal! Grin

LesleyPumpshaft · 25/07/2012 07:24

This weather is gorgeous! Grin

It's like going abroad somewhere nice and hot, but without the hassle of travelling, I can have some privacy when the family start irritating me and I can use my own loo. Result!

I really in hope it doesn't start up with the rain again after this week. People who moan about it are ungrateful baskets (apart from elderly of course).

This is my first post btw Wink

JumpingThroughHoops · 25/07/2012 07:27

It's wonderful isn't it?

Able to sit outside with a book, just listening to all the buggering lawnmowers birds in the trees.

Why anyone is sweating in a kitchen when all you have to do is throw cold meat and salad on the table is beyond me.

rainydaysarebad · 25/07/2012 07:45

OI!! K9999999 AND NOKIDSHERE; NO!! Keep your complaining to yourself!

I have just woken up to the lovely sound of wood pigeons with the sun shining through the blinds. Beautiful, and it's going to be hot again. Wooooh!!

OddBoots · 25/07/2012 08:17

People in liking different weather shock!

I'll stop moaning about the heat when the sun lovers stop referring to hot weather as 'better' for example last week people saying "The forecasts say it'll be better next week."

TheVermiciousKnid · 25/07/2012 08:42

I ususually like the sun and hot weather and I would normally agree with you, but I've got the flu (I might have mentioned that once or twice already Wink) and the heat makes it much worse. Our bedroom has a large east-facing window (in fact the whole east wall is window) and I woke up covered in sweat early this morning. I'm longing for some rain ...

rainydaysarebad · 25/07/2012 08:44

Have a shower! Angry (Wink)
