The Great British Weather

I'm leaving the bike at work!

I'd rather be out headbutting hailstones than doubling up my coffees trying to work on some old exchange server integration code.

But that's just me.

Stunning Double Rainbow!

Fuck me, sun in chalk farm!!

(runs outside to enjoy cigarette)

ditto Ladbroke Grove.

just rode home in borrowed (well, stolen technically) 38 inch waist, hi-vi, flame-proof overtrousers. rolled up so they were nearly as wide as long. not a good look, but at least my arse is dry.

What does it mean?

It means we don't live in Barbados.

My arse was wet, got a bit of chafage.

What does it mean?

we must spill the queen's blood or the harvest will fail.

Is it me or has this wind been around for something like six weeks?

I'm having a rest weekend, so not that bothered, but it definitely seems to have been windy for at least a month.

Windy for 1 week.

On wednesday winter begins

Does seem to have been blustery for a bit.

Anyone up for a ride on Saturday? Somewhere North East.

looks like we're all moving in that direction even if we don't want to.

need to put a sail on my bike.

At the risk of sounding like a massive cliché, "I almost spat out my tea" (I always thought people were lying when they said this)

Yoikes ... The Ordinary Race at the Noctourne is going to be interesting.

typically accurate BBC weatherforecast
bet they didn't see the rain coming yesterday either !

^ it's Metcheck (not BBC), reliably incorrect though.

... and Metcheck has now crashed.

I've just got back from the beach.

Just in time too, heavens are about to open.

Metcheck is really funny like that. This keeps happening. I think I first noticed it more than two years ago, and it was probably old news by then. Over 200mph is new, though, I think.

Its chucking it down in the East. Need to head to the Apple store at 3 to get mbp fixed so do not really want to ride with laptop in rain. Anyone in central to give me a weather report and tell me it is sunny so i don't need to take the bus.....

Bought a waterproof cycling cap. Looks gash. Dry head ftw though. Oddly looking forward to trying it out just now.

I has sealskinz socks also.

Come at me rain.
