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.

*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*

I don't particularly like sleeping with a noisy fan on or with ear plugs on. So these are inconvenient, often undesirable solutions that make a bit of moaning perfectly reasonable.

Otherwise I could say you could just turn a light on! There aren't perfect solutions to either, some like one and some like the other.

I want some May as well, though. A smidge of late August mellow heat. And a bit of gorgeous September/October Indian summer. A little Christmas and snow. Perhaps even a bleak day or two of February storms. The arrival of Easter and spring buds! Perhaps it is just November that should fuck off.

I love June but perhaps it’s precious precisely because we have seasons.

Nope. I hate that it gets light in the morning so early I've in fact just bought a blackout blind for my bedroom! And also like to curl up on the sofa, watch a film with candles on around 9pm but it's still bright outside! I think spring or autumn is the best. Good balance of light and dark.

Until a week or so ago, I'd have agreed, but I have suddenly got really bad hay fever for the first time in 40 years or so.

My throat is sore, my eyes are itching, my nose is permanently running and my sinuses hurt. I'm using nasal spray, eye drops and taking anti-histamine but they all seem to wear off quite quickly.

Next year, I'm getting a Kenalog injection, but this year, YABU!

Yup, perfect!

So I just leave a light on all night! Yeah right.

Fans are not that noisy and, even if they are, you soon get used to it. The amount of times a fan is needed overnight in a British summer is very low anyway

There are far more solutions to not liking it light early or late than there is to not liking it dark until gone 8am and then dark at 4pm.

I'm finding your line of argument on this odd. Why are you so insistent that one must be a valid thing to dislike, and the other not? Both are equally valid and come with different inconveniences.

I DO find fans noisy and don't like sleeping with them on, in the same way that you evidently don't like sleeping with the light on to solve your problem! And I would need the fan every night in summer if I had to have the window shut.

There are other things I don't like much about it being light constantly such as feeling social guilt to be out doing something when I don't really have much on/can't, wanting to snuggle down and watch a film in the evening but it's too bright to see etc. I don't want to put blackout blinds throughout my house to avoid these various things, or never open my windows to avoid the noise, in the same way you don't want to leave your lights on so you don't have to deal with the dark.

I put up with it, obviously, but it's just as reasonable to moan about it as it is to moan about the dark.

Nah, spring/summer is only enjoyable because it’s fleeting.

also I get hay fever so perpetual June would be hell.

Nope, I like the changing of the seasons. Besides. June has been pretty chilly (mostly around 13 - 15 degrees so far) where I am, and has only just struggled up to 21 degrees. I agree it's nice to see everything in bloom though.

Perfect!
Anywhere in the world have this pattern? I liked South Carolina but they had warm but not the long nights.
