that's the the spirit!
personally, i've really ejoyed this summer. alright it hasen't been blazing hot for weeks on end i take that as a positive. despite the typically schitzo localised conditions including what felt like "the driest spring on record" followed almost immediately by "the wettest june on record" followed by "the most averagely changeable but generally pretty pleasant july and august on record".
feels to me like i've been riding in a tee-shirt and going to the pub in flip-flops since about the middle of april. not fricken bad really. felt the first hint of encroaching autumn crispness in the air last night. i know it's still august and hoefully there'll be plenty more balmy late summer evenings to come before things take a turn, but i'm already looking forward to the mornings and evenings being cooler, getting a new winter jacket, busting out some autumn and winter recipes and and getting cozy under the duvet at night. i would hate to live in a town where the weather's the same every day of the year.
