To be drinking beer in the sun

[Paddyshanks]

Is it really that bad to be sat in a beer garden on this beautiful afternoon?! It’s the weekend, it’s sunny, I love the summer!!! Anyone joining me?!

No im on call for work...jealous.

I’m sat inside I hate the sun and can’t wait for the autumn BUT if it makes you happy then why not.

I don’t drink and I don’t like the sun, so isn’t how I’d choose to spend an afternoon, but it’s fine if you don’t need to be anywhere else and aren’t getting so drunk you can’t look after your children.

Enjoy it-I did it last week so it’s your turn this week!

I have a high tolerance and my kids are old enough to drink themselves if they choose to do so!

It’s been so nice having a proper summer!!!

Me too! Also have teens. Enjoy! 🍸

Yep, just come back and they had Aspall's Cider on tap ...... Bliss 😊

Why would it be ‘that bad’, or bad at all? It’s a fairly standard thing to do on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

I've just put some in the fridge to enjoy after dinner.

Enjoy the sun. We might not get many nice days.

Enjoying a 🍷in the sun after an afternoon of gardening. Cheers 🍻 OP

What "sun"? (I'm in the far north and it's cloudy with squalls of rain. Wet rain.)

You sound like a barrell of fun 😁

Where are you OP that you are having a proper summer? Or perhaps you thrive in boiling hot weather?

I do thrive on boiling hot weather. I have loved having heatwave after heatwave and being able to wear shorts & mostly leave my umbrella at home since May half term!

Depends on the beer. Some people call Budweiser a beer whereas I would not use it to water a garden of someone who had offended me.

I'll be doing so on Tuesday.
I'm off to London for a week so sun!
The weather in Scotland is shit.

@Paddyshanks "I do thrive on boiling hot weather. I have loved having heatwave after heatwave and being able to wear shorts & mostly leave my umbrella at home since May half term!"

Oh god, so do I. I love the heat and being able to wear flip flops, shorts, floaty dresses. Just that feeling of warmth wrapped around you, minimal clothing and light evenings. Dreading the bloody winter. Enjoy your pint!

Why would it be bad? Perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday. That’s where I was this afternoon (lovely local
tap room, walked there with Dh and teenage/young adult dcs and ds1 gf. Should have left the grumpy teen at home but that’s a different issue!)

I also thrive on sunshine op. Dreading the winter. There’s a bit of a nip in the air here now but still been a lovely sunny afternoon. I’m now in the garden, still in a t-shirt.

I thought this was going to be:

“AIBU to be drinking in the sun …when DP is a recovering alcoholic… when my 5 month old is asleep upstairs … in my neighbour’s garden when they are on holiday” 😂

not “AIBU … to be doing a pretty standard and uneventful thing” sorry OP but 😂

Also enjoy 🍸☀️

The bit about the neighbours garden made me howl 🤣🤣🤣

😂 I might be making this up but I think this may have been a post on here

I still am & have been since about 3!!!

but... I've only had lattes & 0%Estrella& read my book.

I have several health conditions that have made the past eight week heat wave unbearable for me and all I have done is try to stay in air-conditioned spaces and keep my house as cool as possible.

This is the first day that I have found it nice to be outside enjoying summer, I fully intend to do the same tomorrow as it may be my only two days of summer🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

I love autumn & winter, but after I've had a nice summer!!

however, with how ill the heat wave made me, I won't be complaining about the cold the rain or anything else this autumn or winter !

I’m in Greece so I’m the sun enjoying a few drinks every day. Enjoy OP.

I am truly glad that some people enjoy it. Personally I shrivel up like a lettuce leaf and need rain to recover!
