Sick of this fucking weather. No wonder we are all ill and fat.

[Wayofliving]

The heating has been on at home at some point every day for the past 7 months. I’ve no inclination to get out and walk or do anything at all after work. I come home and cook comfort food as there’s sod all else to do. Drying washing everywhere, house always looks untidy.

It’s always cold, dark, rainy, depressing. If we’re lucky we’ll get 2-3 months of a bit of warmth and sunshine before it all starts waning towards winter again.

No wonder there’s lots of bugs and colds around, we’re all indoors all the time! Couple the shitty weather with high costs of living, crap public services and it makes me wonder why I didn't feck off to Australia when I was younger.

No point to this post, just a moan!

Give it time!

100% this. ^

Yeah, I'm definitely sick of this weather too 😭😭😭! I loan a pony, and all the fields are knee deep in mud at the moment, so it's impossible to turn out.
Definitely feel like this weather makes you feel hungrier and lazier too.

1000% this.

@RedToothBrush nope, it's a weather problem. Just cos it's bad elsewhere doesn't mean we can't moan about it being bad here!

Thanks, Wiggly woo is her nickname.

Do you have any dogs @AngryLikeHades ?

Whippets really hate the wet. She had to have a proper shower as rolled in stinky fox wee as well as muddy undercarriage.
I put her in the shower with door closed hoping she'd shake the water off in there, but she just stared at me til I opened the door and then caught her in a warm towel.

She gets very grumpy being showered off, and shows it! {Pic of her dry after the shower}

Her pad was actually cracked with the wet- I bought some bamboo paw balm that really helped.

''First Sun Paw Cream Balm''...it's cheap from Ebay and better in reviews than much more expensive stuff.

Yes and on those days I have no choice but to go out (dr appt or whatever) there’s hardly anyone around and they look as huddled and miserable as me. So who are these people enjoying themselves in the rain because I never see them?

I actually do love those things but not in April.

I'm in Cornwall and the wind has definitely picked up and howling outside. Could be a long night.

If you live somewhere where you have lots of rain free days then you have no idea what it is like.
Where I live in the last 6 weeks we have had two days without rain. And I do not mean a few showers. I mean lots of heavy rain. The ground is saturated and muddy.

YANBU, I'm usually a "there's no such thing as bad weather" person.... But it's too wet. I live in the rural south west. Its either windy and raining, or not windy and raining. I can't think of a single day since December where it hasn't rained.

Most of the fields we go past are flooded, we can't access our usual walking routes because they're horrifically muddy and bordering on unsafe for me and DD, and are downright dangerous for DH who has mobility problems. Half the country roads we need to use are flooded horrifically at points, and between that and the water filled pot holes, traveling by car takes twice as long as usual.

At this point, it would make my year if it stopped raining for long enough for me to mow the grass.

It's the grey over cast sky... its grinding me down loads and I actually felt a bit panicky/anxious about it the other day.

I saw a news report yesterday that said water companies are already warning about shortages this summer.

WTAF?!! I'm in the Midlands, not the Outer Hebrides, and honestly can't remember one dry day since Christmas.

Ah! He/she looks a doppelgänger for my whippet! He has that very sad look 99% of the time, so it’s hard to tell if the rain makes him sadder…..

I don't know why it can't ever be just, like, temperate?! Hideous wind and rain and then suddenly it is summer oh but it's 35 degrees for 2 weeks then back to wind and rain.

18-25ish degrees, sunny with a nice breeze is my ideal in spring and summer (and sunny and freezing cold in winter) but it doesn't seem to happen much!

Are they taking the actual piss? How can there be a water shortage when it's rained for 170 of the past 183 days?!

I don’t think it’s actually been that bad.
Yeh it’s wet some days but today was fine, it rained for a short amount of time and then it brightened up.

They dont have the storage facilities apparently..

I don't know where you all are but today has been glorious, back doors open all day though had to wedge them because it was a bit windy, what my late mother called 'a good drying day'. I've had to water my fledgling baskets even, last year's fuchsia are starting to grow again even though they were out all winter.

They should flipping well invest in some then. Utterly ludicrous!

I'm in Bristol and it was drizzly nearly all day.

I’m also in Bristol and it defo wasn’t
drizzly all day. I was walking around the city centre for over an hour at lunch time ish and it didn’t rain at all in that time and the floor was dry so it didn’t rain before that. I didn’t wear a coat and can remember thinking how nice it was.

Me too - I can’t get to sleep because of the wind and rain, and I think something just hit our upstairs window… I dread to think what I’ll see in the morning, it must be blowing from the sea as I don’t remember hearing so much noise before. We live in well insulated house that has thick walls and small windows.. but it still sounds as if they are going to blow in!

Our dog was straight back in after his evening wee, even he looked shocked 😂

Yes exactly 💯

Similarly, no one in the world ever thought "Ooh, the kids are off school next week. Let's book a flight to the UK so we can wear kagools and carry fucking thermos flasks around in damp rucksacks. That's much more fun than going to the Mediterranean coast."

Some days!!
I have no idea where you are but where I am it sodding pours down virtually every day. The air feels so damp. I just want the rain to bleeding stop.
