To think life would be better if it was June in perpetuity?

[ThisIsGroundControl]

Would it become tiresome? I can not forsee that happening.

All the hard work in spring has paid off in the garden, the birds are in full song, the days are warm and long. I've convinced myself I am not being unreasonable. Long live June.

No. It's too hot, everyone's suddenly using the park and petting my dog, works enteres busy period but everyone also goes on holiday leaving me alone.

Bring back spring and all the flowers and the cool air and the brightness.

Hell no 😂 it’s way too hot! Now perpetually October I could get down with 😂

Ooh, I love having all four seasons! So personally I wouldn't want it to be any month all year round. But neither of us are being unreasonable, as it's personal taste. Actually my birthday is in June, and I get birthday blues, so I definitely wouldn't want June all year round! Fortunately said birthday has been and gone this year, so happily out of the way now. My favourite season is actually autumn. I just love the colours; but I still wouldn't want it all year. I love it in light of the other three, all of which serve a purpose. So I'd say, long live all four seasons!

Having said that, I do concede we're having a particularly lovely June this year - at least where I am, by the sea. It isn't always thus...

I prefer sleeping beyond 4am. So no.

What an interesting thought experiment!
Just love June so much for so many reasons snd we are now halfway thru…. Am actually annoyed with my bf for arranging masses of work this month that he could have scheduled for July 😀

Aside from detesting the light nights (I have small children), I agree.

Biggest bonus of June = few wasps!

I am definitely on board with this. Although I'm moving to Ireland where June is still cold, so August might be better and have a chance of it reaching temperatures of over 18 degrees.

I'd be happy for September to May to be abolished.

You hate Christmas? Nooooooo...

No I don't have blackout curtains. In fact I rarely close the curtains.

I absolutely hate darkness. People who don't like the light mornings can just get really good blackout curtains but what are people that don't like dark mornings meant to do?

I wake at the moment about 6.30 and get up and have a lovely long day. In the winter I struggle to wake and get up by 8.30/9am.

I also hate dark evenings and when it gets dark about 4pm it makes me so depressed.

What is there to like about Christmas? Cold, grey, wet, miserable weather. Dark by 3.30pm. 50% of the population driving through the rain and grey to visit the other 50%, all on the road at the same time. Consumerism/ commercialism gone mad. Piles of tat and plastic going to landfill. Vomit on the pavements. Domestic violence. Nothing but a guilt festival, an orgy of over-eating and over-spending. Cooped up in over-warm houses with family you only see once a year for good reason, everyone desperate to find an empty room to watch what they want to watch on TV/ read their book/ take a break from the fake excitement. And for women, the terrible pressure to buy the right things, remember everyone, buy and cook special food and make sure everyone's happy on the big day.

You do know that the first week of the new year sees a rush of people filing for divorce and seeking separate rented accommodation, don't you?

Certainly not hot in East Midlands. So far it's been pretty shit.

Most years June is not that great. My birthday is mid June and I have spent more of them out in the rain than in sun.

Also think about Wimbledon and how often it rains. Not sure why so many posters say it is too hot

I love Christmas although agree about the weather and the awful dark.

I love spending it with my family. Always spent Christmas with all my family for the last 67 years. We all get on brilliantly. We never ever have the tv on and just chat and laugh, play some games and have a great time.

I enjoy shopping for presents and I speak as someone who generally hates shopping. I also like cooking for 18 people and seeing them enjoy my food. We actually spend Christmas at my sister's but I cook as I love cooking and she doesn't.

As for people filing for divorce after Christmas, well the same is true after holidays. If couples don't get on that is nothing to do with the time of year but just the fact they are likely spending more time together. Me and DH have never argued about Christmas or at Christmas. We like having time together with no work

I like June but my baby waking at 4 because it's light outside is not my favourite bit!

Surely you have encountered people that like their family and spouses, find the festivities genuinely, not falsely exciting and like giving and receiving gifts before and aren't genuinely clueless about why people like Christmas?

I have to say, vomit on the pavement has never been a major feature of Christmas for me either.

I'd prefer year round September myself. The sentiment I agree with the OP though.

Don't know where you are OP but here in Yorkshire I'd say it's the coldest June I can ever remember!

Currently sat with a heated throw on my knees!!

Why can't you just get thick curtains or blackout blinds?

I don't understand people moaning about the light when something can be done about it. There is nothing I can do about the horrible dark is there?

Well it can't always, I live in a rental and can't change the curtains.

Also as someone said up thread there's also children playing/people outside until late in summer while you're trying to sleep with the window open because it's hot.

It's perfectly valid to like/dislike either.

But that's what makes it brilliant!

Curious to know where posters live - for me (SE England) it's already starting to look a bit parched and sad outside. Prefer March to May for the flowers/ blossom/ general lush greenery and nights cool enough to sleep, and then I'd be quite happy to skip to Autumn.

I assume you mean June with British weather? Because I am just back from a week in Italy ( family visit) and it's ridiculously hot and humid. Plus the high pollen count has trigged my son's asthma... Personally I'd rather to have seasons, and l love skiing.

I'm in Greece
I don't want to come home.

June always makes me think of exams, so no.

Pretty sure you could change the curtains. Just because it's rented why would changing the curtains matter? Just change them back to the originals when you move out.

It's not like painting the walls a different colour or changing the bathroom.

I guess I must be lucky because there are certainly no children paying outside where I live at 10pm or later nor are there usually people outside. If there were I would keep the window closed and use a fan and maybe ear plugs.

The light is far easier to deal with than the dark. There are no solutions to that other than leaving lights on
