Am I the only person on MN who loves the summer?

All I see is posters moaning about summer and loving the winter.

I love the light nights. I love not wearing boots and coats and scarves. Bring the summer on!

I love the warm weather and the sunshine. Wearing a pretty dress and pottering in the garden, then sitting in the sun with a cold drink and a good book. Bliss!!

And this summer promises to be even more special given the governments ‘Great British Summer Savings’ Scheme!

It is immensely preferable to me. I like the colder months for a short period but it goes on forever in this country - just an endless stretch of grey and gloom. I come alive in summer, love not having to wear so many clothes, can just throw on a loose dress with no socks and be outside all the time. It’s heaven.

I like it. I get that heatwaves can be challenging. But the average summer outside of them is pretty much life as usual in a lighter jacket, so not sure what to hate really.

I think the problem MN has is that summer is for everyone, so the oiks are out in their council house gardens scoffing their Greggs and slurping their Fosters in their vests while shouting at their kids over the Bluetooth boombox they stole from B&M.

If "we" were all left in peace to sit in our lovely gardens with our lovely family in our lovely towns and didn't have to interact with the poors, I'm sure things would be different.

😂😂😂this not entirely inaccurate.

I love summer and the warmer weather.

You'll have the posters who were complaining a week ago about it being cold and miserable weather, to this week moaning that it is too hot!

I love this time of year and really dislike winter

I was working in the garden all day and it was really unpleasantly hot. We had to send our gardener home early because it was too hot for him too.
What were all the posters who love the hot weather doing today that was so lovely? Sitting on a deckchair with a cold drink?

I went into town, pottered around in the garden and all the other stuff I usually do at weekends.

I love the summer OP. I don't mind being hot. I used to live in a hot place where the temp in July and August was often around 35, plus quite humid, and that was heaven from my pov.

I've really noticed that people manage heat differently. The last few years at my office i a place that is not so hot, our AC was not working. Some of my staff really struggled, just miserable, even though I made sure they could take things slower than normal. I feel like my internal metabolism just goes into a kind of idle in the heat but their doesn't.

Now that we are in a new office I am struggling in the summer because the AC is frigid and I have to get togged up in sweaters and keep a blanket at my desk in summer. Some of my heat hating staff are going around in short sleeves happy as pickles.

We have frigid aircon at work as well @TempestTost
I love to wear summer dresses and sandals, but my feet get so cold in the office.

@Attackedbysavagebees I went for a strenuous bike ride this morning. I didn't die.

I love the longer days. I love warm weather but not too hot!
